Thank you for the site. I was having a hard time explaining the election to my 5.5-yr-old daughter. We have some older geared books and I tried to pull just the simpler facts for her. I am making a crossword puzzle for her right now from the facts I pulled from this website and the books I have. Thank you so much, Cindy.

My husband can do this trick with success but I have tried it in the past and my 4-yr-old son looks at me like "Nice try Ma".

My children are 4 and 5.5-yrs-old. I agree with the selections chosen in the article and believe that it is very important to read EVERYDAY to our children. We have read the Narnia series twice. We also enjoy reading the Harry Potter series. J.K. Rowling is a great descriptive writer. I only have read one Junie B book and found it hard to read the bad grammar Junie B would spout. I really don't like to recite a sentence or word the wrong way to have my impressionable young children to think that is the correct way to speak and then use their words the wrong way. My daughter found it entertaining and I noticed that she picked up some of the "ways" Junie B spoke. It is very entertaining as a parent reading Junie B as she is very true to most of the first graders that I have experienced. If you choose to read Junie B, maybe it could be an English lesson, find all the errors and correct the sentence. **Please read the Shel Silverstein books to your children. My kids LOVE the humor in the poems and find it easy to recite the silly rhymes. They are great to read while on a trip or outing.
