Of course, each child is different. The suggestions given are great. I'm keeping you in mind as I read reviews on newly published pieces.<br />danaDanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772723381708427902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20750927.post-14651394795424460582009-04-15T09:07:00.000-04:002009-04-15T09:07:00.000-04:00That's where our two differ.

He loves stuff about wars, revolutionary, trojan, etc. Luckily, Randy likes that stuff too. Just hard to find age appropriate stuff. Have you ever read the "Among the (Night, Pond, Meadow, etc) People" books? They are by Clara Pierson. They look interesting. I'm going to try some if I can find them at the library. Hard to find since they are so old. You can order them but I want to make sure they are good before I do that.<br /><br />Judson did the like The Kite Fighter by Linda Sue Park but it was a bit old for him. I had to explain a lot of stuff. He liked the Kipling stories I've read fairly well. <br /><br />I love reading your reviews. Have you tried the Black Lagoon Adventures? (MIke Thaler) They are listed on a book list I have. <br /><br />JanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20750927.post-9634295281690210882009-04-14T08:05:00.000-04:002009-04-14T08:05:00.000-04:00A Homemade Life is on my wish list..... perhaps it...A Homemade Life is on my wish list..... perhaps it will be an early birthday present :)<br /><br />I second the suggestion for books by Roald Dahl... my son loved them all.
