Joel's 10th Birthday Wish List

Joel's birthday is coming up.  This wish list is to help family and friends know what to get him.  Somehow duplications are always an issue.  If you plan to get something, you can let me know or just anonymously comment that a certain item has been purchased.  I don't want to make it complicated.  It is complicated when a lot of people are wanting to know what to get him, and I'm actually trying to simplify.  I'm trying!  This list is rather long.  My goal was to give people options.

Books

As always, the older the better, and hardback is preferred.

from the Little Britches series by Ralph Moody: Man of the Family, The Home Ranch, Mary Emma and Company, The Fields of Home, Shaking the Nickel Bush, The Dry Divide, Horse of a Different Color

Men of Iron by Howard Pyle and anything else by Howard Pyle, written and illustrated.  He does already have Robin Hood and The Story of King Arthur and His Knights.

Carry On, Mr. Bowditch by Jean Lee Latham

William J. Long's books (we already have Secrets of the Woods)

Cindy Rollins has a post that I drool over at her blog.  Any of these.

For more inspiration, check out the Living Books Library website.
