Summer Read-Alouds

Here's our list of books we read aloud as a family this summer.

1. All Because of Winn Dixie by Kate DiCamillo

2. The Door in the Wall by Marguerite de Angeli

3. Homer Price by Robert McCloskey

4. Follow My Leader by James B. Garfield

5. The Boxcar Children: Animal Shelter Mystery

6. The Wheel on the School by Meindert Dejong

7. The Cabin Faced West by Jean Fritz

8. Chrissa (American Girl)

9. The Hundred Dresses by Eleanor Estes

10. Pioneer Cat by William H. Hooks

I just asked Millie which one was her favorite, and after saying it was hard to decide because they were all so good, she said The Wheel on the School. That was Tom's favorite too. Like Millie, I have a hard time choosing a favorite. (Though my least favorite was the Boxcar Children mystery - I just don't like that series!) I'd say the most "challenging" read (considering that our kids are ages 7, 4, and almost 2) was The Door in the Wall, though that was probably one of my favorites.

Did you read any good books this summer?
