Book "Spotlight"...Cinnabar, The One O'clock Fox
We recently read "Cinnabar: The One O'clock Fox" by Marguerite Henry for our Read-a-Loud:
(Recommended Reading Ages: 8 and up)
We borrowed this book from our local library -recommended as a Read-a-Loud in the Noah Plan Curriculum while studying George Washington. I haven't used the Noah Plan as our primary curriculum in a while. But I'm still drawn to it's Biblical Principle focus in all areas of learning and life, and occasional reference their guides, as well as, use the book lists.
Story is based on a supposed legend of a fox that would appear at exactly one o'clock to be hunted by George Washington and his party of hunters. Marguerite Henry writes from the perspective of the fox (who displays human qualities) and his enjoyment of the chase. Our family very much enjoy the light hearted adventure and has sparked an interest of learning of foxes and their behavior. This story, also, added another dimension to our first president as not only our first leader and general-but an avid hunter.
Should you pick this up, I hope you enjoy it as much as our family did.
