Reviews for Lighthouse Families
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
4/5
2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Lighthouse Families by Cheryl and Bruce RobertsStories and recipes from those who were light keepers over the years. Lighthouses from both coasts and around great lakes area.Starts out talking about the Fresnel lenses and the changes over the years. Liked hearing how the kids found fun things to do to entertain themselves.Teaching of giving treasures back for those you take from the areas. Loved hearing of the flying woolen blankets and being teetered to the clothesline and how to make dumplings.I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
