This week's Library books - June 18

This week we have several books checked out.  We couldn't narrow it down further than this.

The children enjoyed reading the book about salamanders so much that we each drew and coloured a picture of our favourite salamander,  some of us invented our own one to colour.  We sure learned a lot about them!  I was surprised to find that some of them can be 5 feet long! That wouldn't surprise me for reptiles, but I was not aware of such a large species with this sort of amphibian.  Some people do confuse land salamanders as being reptiles like the Gila monster.
