lorrainejmc Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Because of Winn-Dixie was a winner here. :001_smile: I'd love to hear some suggestions for this type of reading material for my dd. She is a sensitive kid, so no animals must die, nothing bad must happen but she can cope with "mild peril" if there is a happy outcome.:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missouri Okie Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Another poster (Farrar Williams) once suggested the Jamie and Angus stories. My 5yo is enjoying the first one in that series as a read-aloud currently. It's about a boy and a stuffed animal...a relationship to which she can relate!
