Chapter Books Read Aloud

I finished reading Holes by Louis Sachar to Kylee and Makenna this week. I hadn't read this book in quite a while and had forgotten how great it is. Both of the girls liked it too. Makenna wrote a brief review on her blog (before we had finished it.)

After we finished Holes, the girls and I worked on making a list of all the chapter books I have read to them. I think we came up with a pretty complete list. We may have forgotten a few and there is some dispute about whether or not I read Ramona Quimby, Age 8 or not. (We read a number of Cleary books and it's hard for me to remember because I read books to my class too.)

Here is the list of all the chapter books I have read aloud to the girls. (I started reading the girls chapter books when they were about four. They are seven now.)
