I loved those books!! I lived in town so it was a great exposure to how farm people lived even though it was way back when.
A.P. read his first word two weeks ago. It was “off”. It was on a coupon. His first reading experience was a COUPON. How sad is that?

That was a great post/review. I have just started reading this book to my 4 year old daughter.

I am inspired. We will be starting “The Boxcar Children” today!

I started reading that series with my kids a few years ago and I thought it was over there head until my daughter tried to guess what was going to happen next and she was right! Very good series.

When I was in elementary school, I used to set my alarm early, shove a blanket under the crack in my door and curl up under my small desk lamp to read these books (don’t know why I thought I would get in trouble for getting up early to read…).
And…I still have fond memories of my mother reading to us. She read my brother the entire Chronicles of Narnia series. I was in middle school when she started, and I still loved sitting in, listening to them read.
Read on, mama!

I loved those books when I was a kid. But yeah I do remember thinking there was quite a bit on the business of animals.
That’s so great that’s she interested in chapter books already. How fun for you.

Clare has been reading for almost 2 years now, and each day she suprises me (and anyone else she’s with). We’ve been teaching her that with reading you can do anything in life you want, so it’s one of the most important skills a person can have. Keep up the reading!

We read the Little House books as a family when I was young. I definitely do NOT remember the pig bladder part! Gooood times. I think you should get Lily a corncob wrapped up in a box for her birthday and see what she does. Ha ha! Messing with your kids is fun!

I never really enjoyed reading so that is why I too collect a ton of books for our daughter and read to her all the time so she doesn’t turn out like me. I do believe reading is so good for you. I’ll have to remember Little House on the Prairie for when she is a little older. Two might be too young yet.

I can’t WAIT until I can read “real” books to my son! He’s too little right now…we’re still at board book stage.
I lived Little House…I’ve got the whole set waiting for my Bubbalu.

I was the same way! My dtr not so much, but now at 6, her reading is on target. Chapter books might be a fun summer project for us!

As a school librarian, I just want to congratulate all of you on taking the time to read with your children. I am a mom, too, and currently my daughter and I are enjoying some quiet time together while I read Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. It’s so important to nurture a love of reading with your kids. If you make the experience pleasant and soothing, they will always go back to books.
I loved the Little House series when I was a girl, and even bought the entire set when my girls were still babies. Somehow, we got caught up in other books and they are collecting dust on the shelf. Not for long, however! I will definitely yank them out of the cobwebs and share them with my girls. Thanks for reminding me how great these books are!

I’m an avid reader too (i started reading just before turning 3)…and with my first baby due in less than 3 weeks, I can’t wait to start reading to him!
