Pictoral engineering books: David Macaulay (2016) The way things work: newly revised edition and Grady Hillhouse (2022) Engineering in plain sight. She studies these kind of books intently, asks us to read her parts that most interest her, then asks questions.
We read chapter storybooks at bedtime and naptime, "only books with children the same age as me." We're reading The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and finished Betsy-Tacy, The Boxcar Children, a Gogol short story, and My Father's Dragon. We hope to read Little House in the Big Woods and Gone-Away Lake soon, but our library doesn't have them.
