lorrainejmc Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 It's almost midnight here so this is a "post and run" but I would love some suggestions for fiction books for my 10 yr old dd for Christmas. She reads very well. She loves animals/nature, perhaps some folklore. I have already ordered The Nature Lovers Book by Enid Blyton but I would like another 1 or 2 books/collections. I looked at Parables From Nature by Mrs A Gatty and the Burgess animal story collections but I usually choose hardback books for gifts. Any suggestions?:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcjlkplus3 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 My 10 yo dd will be getting Rick Riordan's Son of Neptune she loves his books and doesn't like trying new things and it only came out last month so she hasn't read it yet.

Stacia Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 How about some of the Redwall series? A nice version of Black Beauty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kareni Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I thought of a book but it is unfortunately out of print. Wise Child by Monica Furlong Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lailasmum Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 How about something by Michael Morpurgo. They defintiely fullfill the animals and folklore. He has written a lot of books. My favourite is probably Why the Whales Came but all his books are amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
