M and I just finished a re-read of Canadian Summer, the second book in the Mitchells triology by Hilda Van Stockum. Now, we’re reading The Thirteenth Princess by Diane Zahler.
M and her dad finished Tentacles by Roland Smith earlier this week. Now they are reading The Sea of Monsters, the second book in the Percy Jackson series. M’s fondness for Percy has inspired an interest in Greek Myths and we’ve enjoyed reading selections from Greek Myths by Geraldine McCaughrean.
M has been reading and re-reading The Stonekeeper, book 1 in the Amulet series by Kazu Kibuishi. She can’t wait for the sequel to arrive with our latest enormous Amazon order.
C’s love for Richard Scarry’s Best Storybook Ever continues. She’s also been frequently requesting (and reading on her own) our collection of Wild Animal Baby magazines. Other reads she’s enjoyed this week include Corduroy by Dan Freeman, Nugget and Darling by Barbara Joosse, Pete’s A Pizza by William Steig, and My Puppy is Born by Joanna Cole.
I just ordered ‘The Sea of Monsters’ for my daughter. It looks way too scary to me, but my dd. liked ‘The Lightning Thief’, and asked for the next in the series.
What age range would you say Amulet is for?
p.s. Percy Jackson rocks! Are you looking forward to The Red Pyramid?
