  1. I found some Amelia Bedelia books for dd to try.... she doesn't get any of the play on words though:lol: They seem easy for her to zip through ... give her more confidence with reading on her own;) Thanks to whoever suggested it!

     

    Well...our library is really small and doesn't have a great selection. I was looking for some science books for the kiddos and the librarian came to chat and told me to bring a list of what books I need and she'd get them for me if they didn't own them!!!!:D I'm now in love with my library:lol:

  2. OK ... I've heard a lot about these books but am not sure if I should try them ... does this girl have an attitude problem:confused: ... assuming that's why she's called moody???:lol::tongue_smilie:

     

    I ordered a few simple chapter books for dd (she's loving 'Chocolate Factory'...not interested in 'The Littles'). I don't want to buy any book that would encourage an attitude . Can anyone tell me about this book series:bigear:

     

    TIA

  3. Mike Mulligan is a hit here but too advanced for him to read. We also have the Farmyard book with a read a loud cd ... both kids love this book.

     

    The John Deere book looks cute!!! Thanks for the suggestion. I have a bunch of Bob books but ds finds them a little dull ... I want him to enjoy reading .... there must be more beginner books geared towards boys that I just don't know about .... can anyone else point me in the right direction:bigear:

  4. My little guy is just starting to read (can read basic cvc words & sight words)... I'm getting his older sister a bunch of books and want to get him a few as a present as well. He's obsessed with trucks, diggers, cars etc... Do any of you know of any beginner books with this theme?

     

    TIA:)

  5. I loved the Romona books when I was that age.

    I also read Hedi and Anne of Green Gables around that age. I love Anne of Green Gables so much that I regularly read it still.

     

    DD loves Heidi...we have Anne of Green Gables. I haven't showed her it yet (I thought I would introduce it when she got older...hmmm maybe she'd enjoy it)

  6. I ended up ordering charlie's chocolate factory, the littles and the courage of sarah noble... I think I'll pop by the library again this week and see if they have any decent beginner chapter books but I highly doubt it.

     

    One last question...any one familiar with the 'misty series ...by Marguerite Henry'??? DD loves horses and I'm thinking of getting a few but want opinons first:tongue_smilie:
