LOL You are right (of course!)...and I am a lazy butt...I forgot about Once and Future King. I think I keep thinking of adult classics to read to her that will help challenge her vocabulary but she doesnt have to struggle on her own over the words. She loves the Narnia books, and had finally discovered Nancy Drew. I introduced her to the Betsy-Tacy-Tibb series a long time ago, but I know the Jedis will not care to hear about 19th century little girls. I told her she will have to read Little Women on her own though...I can never make it through Beth's death without sobbing uncontrollably.
The jedis have a love/hate relationship with the Hardy Boys. Every chapter ends with a cliffhanger and since I only read one chapter, it can be pretty frustrating for them. Especially Joshua, who's very emotional and cries when I shut the book! LOL But I'm hard hearted...I shut that book and kiss him goondnight!
Bedtime is 8:30pm...I read to them after they get into bed. Matthew then can read until 9:30pm on his own. He just finished reading "Mountain Pony and the Elkhorn Mystery". I've never heard of it, but I thought it looked good so I bought it for 25 cents at a used book fair!
