(I've really got to get the rest of the books.)

We started it before, but wandered off for a bit. Now we're going right through.

Now, I'd like to visit the Tenement Museum when we're done... and maybe see if I can find their library, stop by the playground, that sort of thing. (Was the playground even there when the book is set? I know it's one of the first playgrounds in the nation.)

Here's the thing. There are two tours that have to do with the right time period and Jewish families, and since this is a book featuring a Jewish family I want to go on the right tour. One of them is designed for families (kids 5+) and you can wander around and touch the stuff and all. The OTHER one seems closer to Sidney Taylor's family, though... but it's really for a slightly older group, 8+. The tickets are very expensive, and kids don't get that big a discount, so it's not like we'll take two tours this year.

Oh, I'll probably do the one that allows for more participation. I just hate having to make a choice!
