[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The first several books of the Betsy Tacy series are also great for an early elementary kiddo.

Off topic, but THANK YOU for posting this recommendation. I have been trying, and failing, to remember the names of these books! I loved them as a child and have been wanting to find them for my DD! DCUM for the win![/quote]

Oh, I'm so glad to hear that. Betsy, Tacy, and Tib were basically like friends to my kids when we read those books. The Moffats is another series that fits in a similar spot in my brain, if you're looking for more, similar titles.

And to the point of the person who noted that some of the suggested books are better suited to kids reading themselves - I agree! I've found that it's a good rule of thumb to read aloud books that are 2-3 grade levels higher than my kids' reading level (but with suitable content, of course). This keeps the kids engaged in the story and exposes them to higher-order vocabulary and more complex plots than they might find in a Magic Treehouse or Junie B Jones book.[/quote]
