    I love threads like these! Always looking for some new ideas--

    My son (5yrs) just finished Time Warp Trio, 2095 and will start either something from Magic School Bus or Tom Sawyer (Great Illustrated Classics)

    My six year old is interested in the Goosebumps books (we have a box of them we inherited from cousins) because it is Halloween. He found one in particular that is a choose your own style where every so many pages you make a choice and it send you to a page...it ends up that there are 26 different combinations that you can choose. He is trying to read all 26 different versions.

    I need to make a run to the library and restock his available choices so he can choose between Goosebumps and something a bit different.

    ...reading is pleasure, not just something teachers make you do in school.~B. Cleary
