mamapjama Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 for a high reading level almost 10 yr old and a 5 year old.... need some recommendations :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAS in LA Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Are you asking for a read-aloud that both dc would enjoy? We've been enjoying the Swallows and Amazons series, though it may be a bit much for your 5yo. Our 6yo enjoys it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamapjama Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 I always get them each a book for Christmas, so something more picture bookish for the younger one would be great. I'll look into the book you recommended though! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tammyw Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 My hard-to-please 5.5 year old son is currently in LOVE with the Tashi series. Good news is my 8.5 year old dd also loves it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth S Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 The new Dr. Seuss & Shel Silverstein books (published posthumously): The Bippolo Seed http://www.amazon.com/Bippolo-Seed-Other-Lost-Stories/dp/0375864350/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323215433&sr=8-1 Every thing on it http://www.amazon.com/Every-Thing-Shel-Silverstein/dp/0061998168/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323215465&sr=8-1 BOTH of them capture the author's famed writing skills, with great back-story (in the intro) on Dr. Seuss. These are FUN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 My Name Is Not Isabelle and My Name Is Not Alexander by Jennifer Fosberry for the younger child. My ten year old has been reading the Eragon series and The Mysterious Benedict Society series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurelia Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Perhaps The House Above the Trees or The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland for the 10 year old. Ariel's favorite picture book this year was Pickle Chiffon Pie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
