I am always on the lookout for quality books for my kids to read. Now that it's summer they have even more time to read. I thought I would post this question: What good books have your kids read lately that you recommend?
I'll start off with some books that my kids read recently that they really liked (Most of these books are on Kindle but many I borrowed from Plano's ebook library) Most books here are 3rd grade level and up:
Zucchini by Barbara Dana
This book is about a ferret who runs away from the zoo.
Born to Trot by Marguerite Henry
This one is about a boy who has a horse that can run very fast.
The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate (Newberry Award)
This is about a gorilla who remained in captivity in a cage in a mall for years who later discovers he has some special gifts.
Neversink by Barry Wolverton
This book is an animal version of America's breakaway from England. My son enjoyed reading about the details of this fantasy world in Antartica.
Crunch by Leslie Connor
A boy's parents get stuck because they don't have any gas to fill up their tanker. He tries to take responsibility for parents' farm/bike shop.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Flies Again
ReplyDeleteHi this is Phillip and I would recommend The Mysterious Benedict society series,the mysterious benedict society is about a boy in an orphanage named Reynie who is only eleven years old but is at a high school level in everything. But soon he finds an ad in a newspaper made for children to read, saying: are you a gifted child looking for special opportunities? He then looks at the bottom saying that if your interested take a test on third street, he then takes the test and is told to answer the most peculiar questions he's ever heard. Later he goes for his results to find he was the only one to pass, but to take another test at a diffrent building yet told to only bring one pencil and one rubber eraser, and if he brings more he would be disqualified.
I like this series because it is a mixture of mystery,tests, mind bending puzzles, and mores code.
Noah liked that book too. Thanks for the book recommendation, Phillip!
