The Golden Bird at the Library, and books, of course...

On Sunday, Mikro had fun participating in a children's drama workshop at the library, and then we saw a wonderful performance based upon a folktale called "The Golden Bird." Both were put on by The Singing Harp theatre troupe.





And afterwards, we found these great books, which fit right into our current study of Ancient Egypt. Mikro loved both, and even reread the creation myth several times. I entertained him by drawing a cartoony version of him in the Egyptian style, face in profile, torso full front, etc., complete with kohl eye makeup and his usual t-shirt, jeans and suspenders...




We also picked up a few other Egypt and Greece books, including one with some arts and crafts projects that I'm hoping he'll want to try.
