I was looking over the books I read when I was 11, since my little sister’s turning 11 on Tuesday *humming* and it was mostly picture books like Least of All, AG History Mysteries and Animal Ark books.
Anybody hear f the Five in a Row reading program? It’s got a bunch of really good books for younger children to read every weekday (five days in a row, hence the name) but I’ve enjoyed most of them greatly meself!
“Willy was a rather unusual snake, for he was fond of reading. Snakes don't usually care much about books, probably because they haven't any hands to hold them with. But Mr. Tweedle had a sort of reading stand on his desk, and if he propped a book up on it, Willy could turn the leaves with his nose.” -- Walter R. Brooks,
