I too have about 30 books checked out at once. I always have fines as a result of it!!

I am going to invest in LOF books, can you recommend a good one to start?

He has those Times magazines for kids and on occassion will want a Highlights, but he likes the facts of Times more, I think. I think leaving them in the car with some other books will be my next step.

I think Calivn & Hobbs is a GREAT idea... it's our sense of humor too and he'll really appreciate the illustrations and cheeky-ness of what they offer.

So funny, after all these posts today, we briefly talked about moving away from the "20 min." and reading to enjoy and just spending more time doing it.

He read Judy Moody for 30 min. and just now wanted extra reading time before bed!?!?

This is lower than the range his teacher recommended but at this point, WHO CARES, seems like a great start!

Will go to library tomorrow for C&H... thanks again!
