Our Reading Basket

I am reading...

• Honey for a Child's Heart Wonderful explanations and lists of books for children. I need to sit down with the book and my laptop and add to my amazon wish lists!
• Honest Pretzels: And 64 Other Amazing Recipes for Cooks Ages 8 & Up What a great collection of recipes to use with your children! (Her other books are great too!)

Josh is reading...

• On his own - The Spiderwick Chronicles Boxed Set): The Field Guide; The Seeing Stone; Lucinda's Secret; The Ironwood Tree; The Wrath of Mulgrath Josh is just loving these. When he is not reading them he is drawing pictures of the characters, pretending to be the characters, or making cool things like a home out of a shoebox for a character. These books are a fun quick read (chapter books but shorter) but are full of fanciful characters. We love sci-fi/fantasy but understand that others object to monster/fairy/etc...
• Reading aloud together - Pippi Longstocking (Puffin Modern Classics) We just finished this tonight. What a silly story! We all enjoyed it and are planning to watch the movie this week.
• Next on his list - The Absent Author (A to Z Mysteries)
