That is a great book!

And, yes, may we always continue to wonder and inspire that wonder in others.

I love the picture of the storks. And I love it when a book changes my life or the life of my family. Thanks for the lovely post encouraging us to wonder. I think it may be time for our family to revisit this book.

Oh, wonderful! My husband picked it up at a thrift store and we’re studying birds right now so he bought it.

And now my son has a question. What do frogs sound like when they are choking? Um, not thinking we’re finding an answer for that one.

We just began reading this book as a family last night! It is for our 1st grader’s Sonlight curriculum… I read it with my now 4th grader, and still find it LOVELY! Thank you for posting a picture of storks… that was on my list to look up today with the kids : )

My kids ask most of their questions while we are in the car. Sitting there with nothing but the same stretches of farmland to stare at seems to get them thinking. Unfortunately, we don’t have any good system for remembering questions until we get home or to the library. Maybe I should stick a notebook in the car just for questions?

[“Will this be on the test?”]

When I was teaching nursing this question annoyed me more than any other.

I have found that I have to look up some of the why questions my children have. I have long ago stopped wondering. What I may have known at one time has been pushed into the dark, unsearchable part of my mind.

I’ll tell you a secret — learning with my children is fun! Though, I do wish they would decide to learn when I am not making dinner, when it is bedtime or when we are supposed to be sitting quietly in church.

Wonderful! So glad your family is enjoying Meindert Dejong’s Wheel on the School! We read it on the recommendation of Sonlight Curriculum when we began homeschooling, and it provided us with many encouragements to ask questions…
