    Dd (and I) didn't care for Ramona -- the whole thing about the father smoking, losing his job...

    But that was last year. She likes the Thea Stilton new series. Loves some Judy Moody, not crazy about others. Bailey School kids was popular during the school year.

    DD likes to read science/nature books or math puzzle books -- they were in the bin for her reading.

    most parents groan over these but the Rainbow Fairies, Junie B Jones, Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Captain Underpants were DDs favorites going into 2nd grade. Then she got into some of the Ramona stories, Judy Moody, Clementine, Just Grace, Ellie McDoodle...anything with a female leads. Right now she is reading The Tale of Despereaux.

    The current favorite for dd6 is Horrible Science books, I purchase some a few weeks ago and she loved them. Shortly after reading the first one she wrote out a list of which ones I should purchase next,lol
