Evan's Picks #9

And now for my just-turned-7-year-old's current favorites! I just realized I can no longer label this post as Ages 0-6! Where does the time go?

• Junie B. Jones, First Grader series, by Barbara Park
• Tiny Titans chapter book series
• DC Super Pets series
• The Book With No Pictures, by B. J. Novak
• Me Hungry, by Jeremy Tankard
• Skippyjon Jones series, by Judy Schachner

If you have been paying close attention, you may notice some overlap between Evan and Coby's most recent favorites. You can still read picture books to your chapter book-reading 7-year-old; at least I do. And they might just catch nuances now that they never would have caught when they were younger.

Evan's Picks #8

• DC Super Pets series

Yep! That's it. The entire list. Evan is completely obsessed and enamored with the DC Super Pets series right now. If I listed each individual title, it would be too long of a list for this blog. Tip: What your child is reading doesn't really matter. If she's reading, she's reading! That's what matters. He may choose to read the same book or series over and over again. It may not necessarily be one you would choose. As long as he is still interested, as boring as it may get for you, your child is getting something out of it each time he reads it.
