    1. It’s been awhile since I’ve read a Brian Wildsmith book. Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll have to read it to my grandkids.

  1. Have you read the rest of the series to Jotham’s Journey? They are all excellent! We read a different one each year. And there’s one for Easter, too!

    1. Yes, we read all the books in the series. Our favorite was Jotham’s Journey, the only one we read several times.
