A Friday Photo: Just Can't Put This Book Down!

7-year-old Gabriella walking through Sprouts market

My goddaughter Gabriella's Mommy sent me this photo and  told me: "It just warms my heart to think she cannot put her book down long enough to walk through a store. After all the sadness last year of learning how to read.  Could I possibly be raising a book worm???" 

DO YOU NEED GOOD CHAPTER BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS?

Whether you have an independent reader, or are looking for some really good chapter books to read aloud, here are some exceptional lists:

• Great Children's Books: "Fun Chapter Books For Beginners" has some good choices.
• I love Sara Jane's "Chapter Books for the Younger Kids" list.
• "How to Train Your Dragon Books" from Best Books For Kids.com 
• Scholastic's "Timeless Chapter Book List" is a great resource, too.
• AND THE GRANDADDY LIST OF THEM ALL: School Library Journal's "Top 100 Children's Novels Poll"  (what's great about this list, is that every book is linked to a review!)
