I read to my daughter every night. Well, most nights she actually reads to me now, but I'm always on the lookout for new and interesting stuff.

She is almost 7 and likes to read the Junie B Jones series by Barbara Park, just about anything Dr. Seuss, and some non-fiction about other cultures; especially Egypt.

We actually recently stumbled upon a gem called "Cassandra's Angel" a book given to us by my SMIL that she had signed by the author. It's a delightful story about a girl who doesn't think she fits in. Perfect for that almost "tween" girl.

Anyway...what are your keets into reading?

To everyone else: We also like Shel Silverstein poems.

Us too. Haven't read it yet. Probably will get it for her birthday in August. Thanks!

Frank, how long did it take you to compile that list?

18 mins from the time I posted the thread to when he posted his response. I think it's a conspiracy.

I can't take credit for it. I received that in an email a while back, and thought it appropriate for this thread. You know me, always eager to contribute

That's right. You are always thinking of others!

I will try to get the thread back on topic. My 3 year old is big on Barbie and the Disney Princess(Ariel, Cinderella, Snow White) so any of those stories. She also likes Good Night Moon and can actually read the book to use because she has remembered it. Last week we picked up Jollymon and Troubled Dolls. She has not really wanted to read Jollymon yet but she has read Troubled Dolls and now at night she checks under her pillow to see if they are there.

Thank you! That is a sweet story.

Well, right now my cat is trying to read the card on the flowers Matt sent (oh, wait, she's trying to eat the flowers, nevermind!).

I couldn't let you guys stay on topic for too long....

You always have to get your hairless kitty into the conversation, don't you?

We've got just about every Dr Seuss book there is. One Fish Two Fish is their favorite from Dr Seuss. My personal favorite is a book by an author in Charleston SC called "Legare the Lowcountry Lizard".

Or Matt. If I can combine the two, even better.

How about Charlotte's Web or the Laura Ingalls series of books. She should be getting into chapter books now, so she might like these. I used to read to my kids every night too and as they got older they would read to me. Good practice for them.

To kill 2 birds with 1 stone, I have my keets read BuffettNews to me out loud!

The Jamie Lee Curtis books are good self esteem builders with wonderful illustrations, and the hardcovers w/ dj are currently at Kohls for $5, with proceeds going to childrens' hospitals via their Kohls Cares for Kids program. They're for ages 4-8.

Today I Feel Silly and Other Moods
Where Do Balloons Go
I'm Gonna Like Me
When I Was Little

Downfall is, I recently discovered we have waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy too many books, if you can believe that's possible. I could open a bookmobile!

I HOPE THEY ARE NOT READING SOME OF THE STUFF THAT I POST!!!!!!!

We have Today I Feel Silly and LOVE it. Especially the day that I really did dye my hair orange (stripes), Matt shaved his beard, and, um, Victoria had the Hershey squirts. HILARIOUS.

I think I'm goin' to Kohls tomorrow!

For my first born son, I have saved all my copies of Maxim, Stuff, FHM, and the few years of Playboy I had recieved back in College
