What I Am Reading
To Kylee and Makenna: We recently finished The Organic God by Margaret Feinberg. We have now resumed reading The Incredible Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick.
To My Class: I finished reading Shiloh by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor last week. Today I started reading Summer of the Monkeys by Wilson Rawls to them. I let them choose between Monkeys and My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George. The vote was 17 to 5 in favor of Monkeys.
To Myself: I'm still reading The Next 100 Years by George Friedman.

Hey Steve,
What have you found to be the best age for children to fully enjoy the C.S. Lewis series, "Chronicles of Narnia"?
just curious.
thanks,

Hi Joe,
I'm not a "Chronicles of Narnia" expert. I have only read the first two books in the series. I read them to Kylee and Makenna when they were six and they understood them just fine. I'm thinking the optimum age to read these and get the most out of them would be about eight years old (for a read aloud.)
Steve
Ive read the entire series atleast 2 times. Yet I still have no clue about the best age.
However I was wondering about your perspective as an elementary school teacher and the allegorical nature of the books.
thats all,
thanks
Joe
