The BFG

Do you remember that book?  It was one of my favorites growing up!  I remember my teacher reading it to us in the 5th grade and thinking how funny it was. 


I saw it at the library the other day and had to check it out (for Kaden of course :))  I've been reading it to him for the last few days and I'm happy to say he likes it.  I was nervous because it doesn't have many pictures, but he at least likes it enough to let me read it to him each night and seems to enjoy it.  I think I'm definitely getting more enjoyment out of the book than he is but, oh well!

I also found another childhood favorite:  Twelve Dancing Princesses! 


I remember this one from the 3rd grade.  I was absolutely in love with it!  I checked it out too.  Its hard to tell myself I did it for Jo because even though the pictures are beautiful there's a lot of words too so I really doubt it'll keep her interest.  I know I'll enjoy story time for the next little while though!
