I say go for it with the sourdough. I made all of my own bread for a few years (not sourdough, admittedly) and I found the experience generally worthwhile, if not exactly my favorite thing to do in the middle of a heat wave. But you've also got Spartacus, who will probably find bread kneading and shaping to be fun to help out with or even just to watch, so there's that.
If you're looking for a bread book, I recommend Peter Reinhart's The Bread Baker's Apprentice for a very technical (but understandable) approach.
