nancypants Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 We're reading AIWL and Through the Looking Glass right now and the kids are loving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelly in VA Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I vote Journey to the Center of the Earth if you are planning to see the movie, because I like to read books before I see the movie, and I'm trying to get my kids to do the same. Somehow, it's hard to get them to read the books afterwards! I have to say, though, that I have not read that one myself, but it seems like it would appeal to a wide age range of listeners.

myfunnybunch Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Swallows and Amazons! *I* loved reading it. The children in the story are the ages of your children, and the adventure is wonderful. It was our favorite read-aloud this year. Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmoira Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Oh gosh, we loved Swallows and Amazons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConnieinCO Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Swallows and Amazons - I loved that story. I think there is a movie also? Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaMere Academy Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 well it's almost a tie between Alice and Swallows. Anyone else want to vote before we start reading...probably will start tomorrow. We just finished Understood Betsy (again) I love that book.

Robin Hood Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 We are half way through Hitty and we love it. I finally got a pencil and paper handy cuz there are some great one liners to use in everyday life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbeyej Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I voted for Swallows and Amazons, with Alice as my second choice. Given the ages of your oldest, and the fact that you just finished a "girl" book, I think the adventure of S&A would be a great contrast.
