And there are SO MANY MORE than when we were young! I can hardly wait for my daughters to be old enough for Madeline l'Engle, Susan Cooper, Harry Potter....Laurahttp://thespicedlife.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568446000623056293.post-54665144716093608522012-09-11T11:11:10.098-04:002012-09-11T11:11:10.098-04:00We started having separate reading times for the k...We started having separate reading times for the kids for the exact same reason. What is it with babies named Tate being a total menace?! :) Our Tate goes to bed about 30 minutes before Lu, so I'll read a shorter board book to him (or sometimes she'll read to him, which is super adorable) and have some one on one time while Lu is doing homework or something. Then Lu and I will snuggle in my bed and read a chapter or two. It's pretty fantastic. (Sidenote: Last night our chapter was entirely told by an old woman in The Phantom Tollbooth, so I had to maintain an old lady voice the entire time. It was awesome.)Meganhttp://www.crazybananas.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568446000623056293.post-31541788912601806072012-09-11T10:43:50.096-04:002012-09-11T10:43:50.096-04:00For chapter books, there's nothing better than...For chapter books, there's nothing better than Roald Dahl's "Danny, Champion of the World." <br /><br />For picture books, I love "Jamberry" by Bruce Degan.yourfriendrobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12003774599596104900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568446000623056293.post-71536367009462058722012-09-11T10:27:16.820-04:002012-09-11T10:27:16.820-04:00I, too, loved reading Charlotte's Web to my so...I, too, loved reading Charlotte's Web to my son, because I loved it so much as a kid. :)<br /><br />I do remember we started on the Magic Tree House books and he just loved them. I think we started with me reading them to him and by the time we got through many, many books, he was reading them himself.<br /><br />Of course, when he was older I read him the first couple Harry Potter books. Not sure if that was really for him or for me. :)Just A Normal Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17044107177408002343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568446000623056293.post-46825202524796333672012-09-11T09:44:15.145-04:002012-09-11T09:44:15.145-04:00When my girls were ready to listen to me read chap...When my girls were ready to listen to me read chapter books I started out with Charlotte's Web, maybe Finn would like that one. We have a three year old granddaughter and she loves to read The Monster at the End of This Book with Poppy on his I-Pad! I still remember Dr Seuss' Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb as well. Good luck, I know it is hard when the little ones have the attention span of a gnat!!!

I also read the Judy Blume books. All the girlie stuff!<br /><br />One of my favorite books ever was The BFG by Roald Dahl. My third grade teacher read us a chapter a day until the book was done, as long as we were good. We were all so intrigued and quiet during that time and just wanted to know what happened next. It's a great book. I read a lot of his books. I think they would be some that Finn would like. :)Yosteehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967654364513967738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568446000623056293.post-15840280355292555922012-09-11T08:32:03.200-04:002012-09-11T08:32:03.200-04:00I loved Where the Sidewalk Ends, Babysitter Club s...I loved Where the Sidewalk Ends, Babysitter Club series, all of Judy Blume's novels and my all time favorite A Wrinkle in Time.<br /><br />Tawnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568446000623056293.post-34777832901908184942012-09-11T07:23:47.417-04:002012-09-11T07:23:47.417-04:00Have you got a Pinterest account?

Then as the titles came flashing back to me, I'd google them and look for a photo of the book cover I remembered having as a child. When I'd find the one, I'd pin it to my board. It's like a memory board of my childhood.
