Reading With Little Ones

I started this blog because I love reading and I want to spark the same interest in my kids. So I started to list books we've recently read together and enjoyed.

My older kids are in 3rd and 4th grade this year. They earn points at school for reading books and taking tests on them.
Some kids struggle finding books they like (my 4th grader does) and parents don't know what books they can get for their child because the public library and book stores aren't labeled for accelerated reading, but mine is!

For those with preschool age and younger, I've included our favorite picture books, which I would recommend for any home library.

At the end of each post I have recommended books to add to your home library, just rent from the library, and whether or not the audio book is good (if we have listened to the book on tape.)
Happy Reading!

The Girl Who Could Fly


Twilight author, Stephenie Meyer, called this book "Little House on the Prairie meets X-Men." I agree and thought it was cute and fun. It's hard not to like Piper McCloud, our flying girl. Her parents always knew she was different. After all, she would float off the table during diaper changes. Unsure how to raise her, the beautiful Dr. Hellion offers to take her to her school for children with special abilities.
I think this is listed at a sixth grade level. But for reading aloud, 8yrs old and up could follow pretty well, probably even younger. It's easier than Harry Potter.
