nova mama Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Good evening! I'm looking for fiction recommendations for my DS7, preferably with little or no: Name-calling Toilet humor Magic (not putting this in the same category as the other two; it's just not for us) Does this exist? :D Thanks in advance!

melissel Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Hmm, I have girls (and we love magic! :D), but off the top of my head, how about animal stories? Have you read Abel's Island or Midnight Fox? Shiloh or Fantastic Mr. Fox? There's also the Encyclopedia Brown books and the Thornton Burgess animal stories, Dr. Doolittle, and Stuart Little. I'm sure others will have more ideas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halcyon Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 my 2nd grader loved Stone Fox Call to Courage White Fang Call of the Wild All the Mary Pope Osbourne Odyssey books (wonderful!!!) Li Lun, Lad of Courage Bears of Hemlock Mountain A Lion to Guard Us Tom Sawyer reading Door in the Wall next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen+4dc Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 My son enjoys: Mrs. Piggle Wiggle Henry Huggins (these are far better than Ramona, Ramona has too much disobedience and name-calling) Narnia Series (I don't know if you put these in the magic category or not). Wow, we read a lot, I don't let them read toilet humor or name-calling but I didn't realize how much we read (that my 2nd grade boy likes) that has magic in it....:glare: We do a lot of historical fiction but these have been read-alouds, not readers: The Great Turkey Walk Caddie Woodlawn Number the Stars Little Britches series (Ralph Moody) The Door in the Wall HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
