I was just thinking that when the girls are older they might have little ones of their own and want to do some reading like we’ve always done. I thought it would be easy if I kept a list of favorites and just in general b/c Im always struggling to find the next book that might be interesting and a list would’ve been helpful for me so here we go, I’ll keep updating as we read more:
Favorite from age 5:
The Witches, The Twits, Holes, Charlie and Chocolate factory, The BFG, Jame and the Giant peach, Fantastic Mr. Fox, George’s Marvellous Medicine, Fish in a tree, When you trap a tiger, Wishtree, Sweep, The Wild Robot, Ivy and Bean, The one and only Ivan, The who was collection, Are you there God, it’s me Margaret, Wonder, Frindle, and I survived collection.
From age 10(ish):
The girl who drank the moon, Esperanaza rising, The Giver, Starfish, The war that saved my life, The housemaid (this is def not 10- but both sissy and guab read this when they were 14 and 11- surely not age appropriate but they found it in an Airbnb and read it in one weekend), The Book Thief, Beyond the bright sea, The war I finally won, The pharmacy girl, City of Ember, Tuck everlasting
I’ll keep adding as I think of them 🙂
