This summer my husband and I decided to actually disconnect the internet- at least until August. It was getting a little out of hand and way too easy to park the kids (6 & 8) in front of the TV so we could get stuff done.
We’ve been going to the library every Monday for a story and craft time and the kids have been checking out at least 30 books a week.
The 8 yr old loves Goosebumps- especially the “Choose Your Own Ending” ones- and all horror/scary books.
They love Amelia Bedilia & Fancy Nancy.
The biggest disappointment of my life has been that they aren’t into Encyclopedia Brown or Cam Jansen books, though. Apparently mystery is “lame” and now I’m questioning if they’re even my kids.
They are also picking random books that look interesting to them and I love that! They’ve picked some really cute ones that I’ve never heard of!
One of my fav is Steal Back the Mona Lisa by Megan McCarthy. It’s so cute.
She also found The Green Ribbon short story in a book of horror stories and I was like “THAT STORY MESSED ME UP!” 🤣🤣🤣
What books are everyone making sure they introduce to their kids? I’d love some ideas!
Anything you absolutely LOVED as a kid that your kids aren’t into?
