Book Recommendations

Clare loves to read.  She also loves to wind down after school by listening to a chapter book on CD while she gets changed out of her uniform after school.  I try to keep her supply of reading and listening materials well stocked from our local library.  Clare will tell you she likes (loves) the Mary Kate & Ashley series, but I try to give her books with a bit more substance to them.  Here are some of her favorite books that I have checked out for her, they average about a 4th grade reading level.


Pippi Longstocking Series by Astrid Lindgren

A Cricket in Times Square by Geore Selden

Doll Shop Downstairs by Yona Zeldis McDonough

  1. I love your comment about "listening to a chapter book on CD while winding down". I never thought of that and might give it a try with Alyssa. I'm thrilled Alyssa is a bookworm and wouldn't trade it for the world. If you haven't tried the Magic Fairy series, Clare might like that. It's a very large series!
