Huge Haul From Last Week

I had a massive book and toy haul last week!

Notable mentions include:
  • A new Pete the Cat book!!! We got introduced to Pete the Cat at the library last week so I was very excited to find Pete the Cat: Rocking in My School Shoes by James Dean. This is a very cute and fun book to read. 
  • Two new Titanic readers!!!
  • This Little Chick by John Lawrence is a great book about animal sounds for Baby G. She loves this one! 
  • Two new math books by Greg Tang (Math-terpieces and The Best of Times). Five down three to go! 
  • Rushmore by Lynn Curlee, the story about the carving of Mt. Rushmore. Mr. B loves learning about landmarks so I can't wait to read this one with him. 
  • The Adventures of Penrose the Mathematical Cat by Theoni Pappas has been on my list for a long time. This book looks like an introduction to advanced mathematical concepts for very young children. 
  • Where Does the Garbage Go? by Paul Showers was a very lucky find. I've have been wanting this one since I saw at another store in very bad condition. 
  • Mythbusters Science Fair Book by Samantha Margles: We LOVE Mythbusters. This is going to be so much fun to use! 
  • Barack Obama: An American Story: Finally an Obama book! He isn't mentioned in any of our (used) books about the presidents. 
  • Lots of  new Magic Tree House books! I really hope the kids like these! 
  • The Incredible Dash by RH Disney. This is becoming Mr. B's favorite. He loves the Incredibles and happens to look exactly like Dash. 
And now for the toys: 
Mr. B's birthday is coming up soon (Halloween!!!) so I got him some great presents. I might wait until Christmas to give him some of these. Most of these were used except for the Crystal Mining kit and the Solar System model (which I purchased at Michaels with a 40% off coupon). The rest were used but unopened (except for the pirate ship puzzle and the Ninja Lego Set).
