Hey Kris, I suppose you might talk them into a grade but you’d have to remeber to bring your milk money at lunch time. School is tough these days…good, but tough

How great that he loves to read – our daughter and I are the same way. I never say no to books – there is so much out there to absorb and learn. Now if she would just figure out this math crud….all would be well. Wonder if I can get a grade from school for helping her and doing Math right along with her every night.

He sounds like a great kid! It’s admirable, his love of reading, in the electronic world we live in today. He may enjoy the Charlie Bone Series also, it’s an easy read and alone the line of The Harry Potter books

Thanks Don! I will definitely get the book. My wife belonged to “the book club” in her old school. Teachers would read kids’ books and review them as possible additions to the library. She has a huge collection of kids’ books. She buys about every Caldecott and Newberry book (basically, anythig with an award stamp). It is amazing what quality there is in children’s books!

Yea for reading! I like his book list too. Have him read “A Time for Andrew” by Mary Hahn. It started a marble craze at my school, and it is a gret read.

He’s a great kid and will be an incredibly interesting adult I think. He’s a good mix of fun and smarts…just like his dear old dad…HA! Anyhow, he does love caffeine though he rarely gets any. I don’t think he is ready for the Mt Dew out of body experience. Emily likes to read books one at a time, but Isaac and I both read a number of books at the same time. I don’t think he has finished Bridge to T yet. He’s been into the Star Wars books this week.

Fantastic book list! I can’t wait until my kids are old enough for that level of books. I can still remember reading Bridge to Terebitha. Has he finished it yet? (Sniff!).

That is great. My kids enjoy reading but not like that.

Wonderful. I smiled through this whole post. I also noticed the Mountain Dew ball cap. Love of caffeine products starts early, doesn’t it?
For me, being lost in a book is one of the most wonderful feelings in the world.

Ah! A reader. That was me at that age, a voracious reader. My dad and the libraries couldn’t keep me stocked in enough books. I love his current reading list….. and am a bit jealous actually!
