The Warriors series by Erin Hunter. It's about feral cats that live in clans and is better than that sounds.

The kids got, for I Love to Read month, "Stuart Little".
The whole school is reading it and will be doing some pictures for the chapter assigned to them. Plus they get to keep the book after the end of the month!

DD likes dork diaries series (girl equilvalent of wimpy kid series) and series called prince of dorkness (vampire series like the above ones)
I want to try to get to to read together with me one called "my name is Nujood, age 10 and divorced"
It is about a girl in yemen (true story) and was published in 2008. DD is 10 and I think it would open her eyes as to what the world is really like (she thinks her life is so horrible). She could do it herself, but I think it will be better with discussion and processing the info with me.

My kids (ages 7 & 4) love Junie B Jones, the Magic Tree House series and the Rainbow Magic fairy books. Their current favorite from the library is called "Snoring Beauty" about a princess who gets changed into a sleeping dragon (mostly because they like to make the snoring sounds in the book). They also like the Pinkalicious books.

My girls love books of all kinds but Pinkalicious books are a favorite. They love books where they can count items on the page or look for hidden pictures.
The favorite book from the library is "Never fear, Snake my Dear"

At the moment:
Snowshoe Thompson , by Nancy Smiler Levinson (at school)
African Greys , by Greg Glendell (with me)
Like a Maccabee , by Barbara Bietz (with me)
It's Perfectly Normal: Changing Bodies, Growing Up, Sex, and Sexual Health , by Robie H. Harris (with me)
Encyclopedia of World History , by Fiona Chandler (with me)
I keep trying to get us down to one or two (or even three, since the last two are not suitable for reading when out and about) and it keeps not working.

Ian's been VERY into The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, which he devoured in audiobook over the course of a few weeks.
We just finished reading together Howard Zinn's A Young People's History of the United States.
He's listening to The New Jim Crow on his audio player now and we started Harry Potter together tonight.

My oldest who's 9 loves the books by Chris Colfer, a star of Glee. The books are fairy-tale-with-a-twist, called the Land of Stories series.

You know, Sharon I'm not sure! I was actually thinking that I should read them so she and I can talk about them and just because I usually have read what my kids are reading. If the books are, of course I'm cool with that!

In any case, I put them on my to-read list. Thanks for telling me about them!

I love the book threads on here, that's where I get great book recommendations for the kids and for me, too.  |
