Story Time

Lincoln and I read together nightly. In the past we have enjoyed together:

The Chronicles of Narnia, C.S. Lewis

Charlotte's Web, E.B. White

Spunky's Diary, Janet Oke

Hoot, Carl Hiaasen

Junie B. Jones Series, Barbara Park

The Secret Garden, Frances Hodgson Burnett

But a few weeks back I'm reading through one of Barbara Park's Junie B. books with him and Lincoln giggles and says, "I love this part." I reply, "What do you mean? Have you been reading ahead?" It turns out he had almost finished the thing in his spare time.

So I am a little saddened to realize that that Daddy-Kiddo story time will someday (soon?) be coming to an end, but just to prolong the inevitable I told him that we would be switching to books that he can't (yet) read ahead in. We just got done with our first one, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O'Brien. We are now reading through the Little House Series by Laura Ingalls Wilder off and on.

Would welcome other suggestions for kids books that may be up a grade level from Lincoln?
