Ezra and I have been pretty hobbit-ish of late. In an effort to keep our germs to ourselves, and not get exposed to anything new, we stay home most days. Books are our chief entertainment, and I am so grateful Ezra has an insatiable appetite for reading. The little guy has interesting taste for a 16-month old. His two favorites are
The Pout-Pout Fish and
Weslandia.
The latter is a picture book meant for probably third or fourth graders and tells the tale of Wesley, a nerdy, creative genius who determines to cultivate his own staple crop and establish his own civilization as a summer enrichment project. I have to wonder what Ezra is soaking up for future reference. He does love to play in the dirt...
p.s.--Wikipedia encyclopedia entry describes some of the author's deeper social critiques
underlying the basic plot. Interested readers?
