MamaBearTeacher Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 At what age would you read this to boys if they liked Anne of Green Gables? It seems like a book a boy might not appreciate until the teen years but then again it might be nice to read it right after Anne of Green Gables for continuity's sake. I am wondering about this for my sons who are 11 and 8.5. And what do you think of the third book for boys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth S Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Our family is a HUGE Anne fan club. However, our read-aloud time is limited, and I really want to expose them to MANY different famous literary characters: Robinson Crusoe, James Herriot, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Narnia, etc. My goal is to INTRODUCE them to each one (first book of a series), and then let them read the sequel themselves if they are interested. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSDCY Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 My boy read the first book and the second book in succession when he was 11, and they stayed on his "top 20 books" list for a while. He liked the second book more than the first. He then read the third one and decided he did not want to read the rest:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom0012 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 We've been listening to all the Anne books this summer while in the car. My 12 yo boy enjoyed them. I would have to say he particularly enjoyed the first and second books. The third was still pretty good, but I am losing him a little on the 4th. Honestly, I am losing interest with the 4th book myself. Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaBearTeacher Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 Maybe I will go with the first two for now based on these posts. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
