Somehow the girls and I  just discovered the wonderful series of Dodsworth books.

In these tales, Dodsworth and his companion,  a clever and funny duck, travel the world from New York to London to Paris and Rome. As we finished the first book, Dodsworth in New  York, I said that we would read Dodsworth in London next.

Katherine began to clap and cheer wildy shouting, “I get to go to London! I get to go to London!”

And this is why I read and read and read to these girls. Who knows where we’ll go next…
