If you asked me what my favorite read-aloud book is, I’d have to say Men of Iron by Howard Pyle. I first read it to my children sometime in the mid ’80’s and again in the ’90’s and who knows how many times we’ve listened to the recorded book version
. Just now I re-read the last chapter. And again I cried, as all of us do at the last chapter, no matter how many times we’ve heard it. I won’t say why, because that would give the story away, but it’s a happy cry.
Read it now, this month, as perhaps your end-of-the-winter, wrapped in blankets, cosy read-aloud finale.
Here is the crying part.
Great pics!
Thanks for posting!
But i thought your favorite book was BEAU GESTE!?!
Thanks to your recommendation it has been mine as well for several years. but i think i did not read MEN OF IRON (though my older teens did at one time)! and so now…
it is ordered.
thanks for the tip!
blessings,
