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!

Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney


This was a pleasant surprise. Greg Heffley is a boy who just started middle school and is writing this journal about his everyday life. Entertaining cartoons accompany each entry. My 10 year old was so into these books, that when the third one in the series came out, he read it in one day! I eventually read it also and found I was chuckling to myself in certain parts. And now I know what the "cheese touch" is (which apparently I still have because I negelcted to pass it to someone else!)
