AdventureMoms Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 DD is due for a new chapter book. So far we have read Winnie the Pooh, Nim's Island, Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and Nancy Clancy. She loved them all, but Willie Wonka is by far the favorite. For whatever reason I can't think of a next book to get her! I don't remember anything I read at this age, everything I remember is much too mature. She is sensitive/easily scared, so I do try to avoid anything with scary content. ETA, I'm reading to her, reading level is not an issue. Just content and interest for a 4yo girl.

MrsMommy Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Ramona the Pest. Actually, all the Ramona books, but that one was our favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 The Sophie books by Dick King-Smith Hank the Cowdog by John R. Erickson These series were big hits in our house. Also look for Gwinna by Barbara Helen Berger; it's a very long picture book. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuzu822 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 If you didn't read The House at Pooh Corner, definitely follow up with that. Teddy Robinson, Mary Poppins, Socks, The Mouse and the Motorcycle, Henry Huggins, etc. Otherwise our list covers everything already mentioned.

Mommyfaithe Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Oh, we read My Father's Dragon too, I forgot that! Only the first one though. I should look for the other two. We loved my Father's Dragon! Our all time favorite, after Little House ....was Little Pear by Eleanor Francis Lattimore. There are a few of them. My kids love Little Pear and Fat Head:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuzu822 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Oh, I forgot Happy Little Family, Happy Times in Noisy Village, The Children of Noisy Village, and A Bear Called Paddington. Let me know if you want me to email you my read aloud database. I know we talked about it once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Love MMMandy and Betsy-Tacy. Be aware (spoiler alert) Tacy's sister dies. They handle it beautifully in the book--I actually read it aloud at a bible/theology study I do, and we talked about it. But it's there, so you should know.

Alice Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Great suggestions. Two I didn’t see that my 5 year old has recently loved: Tumtum and Nutmeg Toys Go Out series (Series of three book. He just told me last night that some books take awhile to decide if you are going to like but that “the toy books” were good from the first words.)

AdventureMoms Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 I'm realizing I need to start keeping a list, because we've read several of the suggestions and I had forgotten (we read Charlotte's Web about 14987957143571 times. How on earth did I forget that? I can nearly recite the book.) Lots of good ideas though! I'm going to write them all down for the next few months. I think I'm currently leaning toward Pippi Longstocking for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
