barnwife Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Can you please list books (picture books through chapter books appropriate for 6ish grade) that have a number in the title? Numbery (yes, I made that up) words are fine too (like single double, half). Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 My kids, ages 14 and 16, can still quote from Half Magic at length. Hilarious book! Good memories of many favorite read alouds in these lists! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For us, it was Eager's Knight's Castle that got quoted a lot (and still does occasionally, even now with DSs in their late 20s! 😄 ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gck21 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 The Hundred Dresses by Eleanor Estes popped into my mind because that is one of my all time favorites! My children like Enid Blyton's Famous Five and Secret Seven series. 100 Cupboards by N.D. Wilson 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Those Enid Blytons in turn reminded me of her Five Find-Outers series, as well a few series by other authors: "Three Investigators" (aka "Alfred HItchcock and the Three Investigators"), "Bobbsy Twins", "Sweet Valley Twins". Also the slightly more adult "Two-Minute Mysteries". Edited March 23, 2022 by jboo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboo Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Hardy Boys "The Four-Headed Dragon" Agatha Christie's "Thirteen at Dinner" "The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle" , which I've never read. Not sure if it's suitable for 6th graders, but I'm including it anyway because we're low on fractions. "Life of Pi", same as the above, except for irrational numbers. I was very disappointed to find out that the H. Rider Haggard book is "Allan Quatermain", not "Allan Quartermain". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
