I want to be ahead of the game next year (that's what I always say LOL). But I'll try. I have 3 boys who I am trying to get a feel for what I could put in there free reading suggestions bag, per say. also, I would like to have 5 family read alouds that no family should be without!
Keegan will be 12 and has enjoyed Gary Paulsen books, and just ate up The Story of King Arthur and His Knights by Howard Pyle. I was agassed, I couldn't believe he read that entire book in a week, but he loved it. Love anything outdoors or deer, fishing, hunting etc.
Darby will be 11 and has enjoyed Walt Morey. He's a bit harder to get books for. And I think it's cause he don't really have any major interests. He also liked a Cricket in Time Square & Mr Poppers Penguins which were family read alouds.
Tierney will be 9 and has loved and finished reading the entire Little House Series. He also enjoys being creative in his building of legos, blocks, etc. He really liked The Naria series (listened on audio) and is a great reader for his age.
I am just looking for some idea's of books that would be great read alouds for our family time. Besides the 3 boys above I have a 6.5 & 4 yr old boy and will have a (I'm sure very active) 20mo old girl and one due in October.
Thanks for all the suggestions and advice. I always have the boys read them and you have yet to fail us! Blessings Misty
