Nearly through the week!
I'm also nearly through Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which I've been reading to the two older kids and they have been loving it.
Anyone got a suggestion for what book to read next? We started the BFG a year back or so, but one of the kids is particularly worried by scary scenes and so a book about giants that eat human kids while they sleep is not ideal. It might be a little better now, a year later, so maybe we will try it again.
But any other suggestions are welcome!
Roald Dahl is a gold mine. Maybe avoid The Witches but The Twits is hilarious.
I also dug up an old Grimm's Fairy Tales from an Op shop: that was quite cool.
I thought the Grimm's fairy tales were super scary and gruesome?
I just checked on Libby and pretty much all the Roald Dahl books have lines. We might have to read the BFG while waiting for the holds (We have the paperback for the BFG). Any experience with The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me?
My boys loved listening to us read The Hobbit when they were 4 or 5.
Ooh, good suggestion! I think there might have been some scary parts in that book, but I'll put it on the list to try out and see how we go.
