Aurelia Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 A Little Princess Black Beauty The Water Babies (I found it kind of overbearing, but Ariel loved it) The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Books by E. Nesbit are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyLittleWonders Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 My boys, all three of them, loved Heidi. I was a little hesitant in the beginning, but they were instantly drawn in and enjoyed it thoroughly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embassy Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Paddington Bear. I read it aloud to my almost 8 year old and my almost 10 year old was interested as well. I laughed so hard I cried. Great book! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HLDoll Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 All things by Nesbit. Also The princess and the goblin. I agree. My sone is 8 and got a Kindle for Christmas from my parents. He's rereading some Nesbit right now and has started the Princess and the Goblin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
