[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just want to 2nd the recommendation of the Laura Ingalls series. My 5 year old boy loved those books so much. Also +1 to the Wizard of Oz which was a huge hit with my 4 & 7 year old boys.[/quote] I’m assuming you left out the black face parts?[/quote] I did not, but we talked about it, especially the "darky" language. My kids might have been a little older when we read that one. Of course it also would have been very easy to skip that chapter if one preferred not to talk about that. We also talked about Ma's racist talk about Indians and why the Ingalls family left their farm in Indian territory. [/quote] Agree, that's why these are wonderful for read aloud time. You can talk about why those things wouldn't fly today. Otherwise it's hard to teach those things organically.[/quote]
