DS 5.5 is reading the most recent NERDS book, one of the Droon books, and his Highlights magazine. He finished the new Pseudonymous Bosch book and is really liking the Wayside school books.
I still bring in picture books occasionally -they are where he is emotionally often but I am doing it less as he gets them in Kindergarten.
Love book threads - now I have stuff to check out for my bottomless pit of a reader!

DS9 is reading The Story of Science: Einstein Adds a New Dimension by Joy Hakim, any Calvin & Hobbes he can get his hands on (Calvin & Hobbes is a daily requirement), and Speak up and Get Along by Scott Cooper (this one I kind of planted in his room)... Also, whatever else he can find and hide at school, I'm sure. (Usually involves world records of doing something gross.)

Today, DD5 brought home from the library: more Nancy Drew, Encyclopedia Brown, *cringe* Rainbow Fairies, and a couple of Magic Treehouse (which she has already read, but picked them up anyway). Non-fiction? she wants none of it, but did read a couple I had laying out on the couch last week. I wonder if that trick will work again this week...

DD7 is reading book 1 of Erin Hunter's Warrior series, which she has picked up and put down many times before but may be ready for now (themes are a bit dark). She is also reading Magic or Not, by Edward Eager, and Rabbit Hill, by Robert Lawson. At school (they do a lot of independent reading) she just finished Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great.

Any suggestions for moving beyond the rainbow fairies. My niece loves them, I thought the American girl books but not sure she will like the magic tree houses. Thanks DeHe
