A short and sweet, we want to get back to reading because it’s summer but we have to tell you about these two great books first sort of post. This week, we’re loving A Mango-Shaped Space by Wendy Mass and The Titan’s Curse by Rick Riordan.
This week, The Nine-Year-Old continues to plow through Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson series, and Mommyo takes a firm stand against the 9YO’s plan to build a coop on the back deck to house her future pet Chickensoraus.
This week, The Nine-Year-Old reviews Wonder by R. J. Palacio’s Wonder and Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief.
This week, The Nine-Year-Old reviews Ava and Taco Cat by Carol Weston and Emperor Pickletine Rides the Bus by Tom Angleberger. We also say a final farewell to the crickets.
Our mostly-weekly survey of the tidbits that cross The Nine-Year-Old’s desk. This week after reading James Howe’s Bunnicula series, The Nine-Year-Old does her level best to convince her lunch buddies that vampire rabbits are real.
Our mostly-weekly survey of the tidbits that cross The (now) Nine-Year-Old’s desk (Happy birthday, The Nine-Year-Old!). This week, The Nine-Year-Old picks her favorite Laura Ingalls Wilder story, reviews the entire history of Snoopy’s wars with the Red Baron, and takes steps to counter Bunnicula’s plans for the coming Vampire Bunny/Zombie Vegetable Apocalypse.
Really I should call this post “What’s The Eight-Year-Old chomping at the bit to read this week,” because that’s what this post is actually about. The Eight-Year-Old…
This week, The Eight-Year-Old reads The Johnstown Flood by Rebecca Johnson, The Kingfisher Dinosaur Encyclopedia by Michael Benton, and The New Way Things Work by David Macauley and Neil Ardley.
Our mostly weekly survey of the tidbits that cross The Eight-Year-Old’s desk. This week, The Eight-Year-Old blends her love of folding paper and Star Wars with Tom Angleberger’s Origami Yoda series.
Our mostly-weekly survey of the tidbits that cross The Eight-Year-Old’s desk. This week, The Eight-Year-Old tags along with Horrible Harry on his trip to the moon, with Harriet Tubman as she frees 300 slaves on the Underground Railroad, and with Emmy as she explores the mystery of her incredible shrinking rat.
