Colin loved the first two books of Diary of a Wimpy Kid! I have kept these books on the back-burner since watching my nephew, Alexei, reading these years ago. He was so into them! I like how many drawings are incorporated throughout the chapters. Very nice for kids just getting into chapter books.
The kids love Piggie and Gerald!! Meli especially. She likes to memorize them. I think partly why they like these books so much is that Will reads for Gerald and I read for Piggie. They enjoy us reading it together and our voices we use. They each try to mimic our voices. Mo Willems is very good at creating fun characters. Sadly, The Thank You Book is the last one for this series. I wish he would continue to write them.
We are big fans of the original style Winnie-the-Pooh. The kids like hearing the original stories. The characters and drawings are my favorite. I just love them. I recently was shown a Russian cartoon that is their version of Winnie-the-Pooh on youtube. It was very cute. The drawings were re-done. Pooh looks like a ewok...so adorable. It was interesting watching an episode i recognized but in a different language.
I let Colin take pictures of the books like I do for my other blog. Colin had fun putting them in different places. He says that he loves Battle Bugs because "they are bugs that battle. That is just awesome!" Of course - I should have known that!
I love these small chapter books that you can get from Scholastics for a dollar. The kids like Cam Jansen and the fact that she has a photographic memory. Colin really wants that. Me too! Humphrey is a hamster. The kids enjoyed this book. It is nice having a chapter book that you can read in just a few bedtimes.
Colin is really enjoying the Choose your own Adventure books. I recently found him several at a local bookstore. Colin was getting a little discouraged that he kept choosing wrong ways to go, so he would come to Will for advice. "If you were on a space ship and had a choice between...." Very cute!
