Thanks for the tip. <br />I'm not sure if you remember:along with the other suggestions, we read Bobsey Twins, Rebecca and Sunny Brook Farm, Anne of Green Gables sereies, Heidi series, Polyanna series, Freckles and other Gene S. Porter books, and animal books of all kinds, Benji, Barry the Wolf Dog, Call of the Wild-- Books with elephants and tigers, foxes, wolves, rabbits and horses. There is Ables's Island and Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. I think the boys enjoyed the reading as much as the girls so I don't think they are gender specific. <br />Yes, I second that you a re a dedicated and devoted mother. Send a hug around your reading circle.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01509744198516888727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4131288126385666341.post-58323235767456555352010-03-09T13:21:47.429-08:002010-03-09T13:21:47.429-08:00The Secret GardenThe Secret GardenMeghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08366931718780841876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4131288126385666341.post-52092385418942801162010-03-09T11:43:40.576-08:002010-03-09T11:43:40.576-08:00I never read that book, but I did see the movie.

Just some more thoughts. And I loved From the Mixed-Up Files...--such a great one.

Otherwise, I'd go with the past Newbery winners, found here: http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/alsc/awardsgrants/bookmedia/newberymedal/newberywinners/medalwinners.cfm<br />Also, hard to go wrong with Lois Lowry and Roald Dahl. I also thought this list looked good: http://www.teachersfirst.com/100books.cfm. Good luck. I love and look forward to reading more advanced books with my own girls. Don't get me wrong, the picture books are wonderful in their own ways, but there is something so wonderful about getting lost in a real story. You are a great mom for being so dedicated to your boys.Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13676933457827280141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4131288126385666341.post-11222891327905643812010-03-08T21:36:21.436-08:002010-03-08T21:36:21.436-08:00I loved Bruce Coville's my Teacher is an Alien...I loved Bruce Coville's my Teacher is an Alien books.... Maybe the Fablehaven Books by Brandon Mull but those do get a little intense...or some of the Newberry books like From the Mixed up file of Ms.Basil E Frankwiler...or My side of the Mountain where he lives off the land on his own. Does that help? I have read some great things about DiCamillo books to I need to read one soon.Trinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04039482999685738183noreply@blogger.com
