I imagined she would want a few read and then get bored of them until she was ready to read them to herself. Not! We have a bit of a fairy obsession going on.The Bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08139740404665123205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19918057.post-39122173082355801652011-12-01T00:12:20.760+00:002011-12-01T00:12:20.760+00:00You are nicer thanme.

Although I think I did buy some magic treehouse in a box set at a remainder store for Christmas. Definitely prefer Tolkein tho'.Missus Wookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08137463465514115553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19918057.post-81317388165364811492011-11-30T21:33:07.298+00:002011-11-30T21:33:07.298+00:00Bless you, Katherine, I'd be going crazy. Thes...Bless you, Katherine, I'd be going crazy. These days I don't think my patience would handle anything that inane. It's all I can do to deal with teething infants and toddlers. Fortunately for me Bella cut her teeth on very long Pooh chapters and is very happy with more interesting chapter books. These days our haul from the library includes lots of science books as that's about the only part of our homeschooling plan I'm actually implementing. I need to write about that soon; but I can't seem to find the time. If you buy those books for her I think you probably deserve an award for mother of the year.Melanie Bettinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12557248434888642114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19918057.post-29811366496818771572011-11-29T22:21:39.488+00:002011-11-29T22:21:39.488+00:00I would buy the Rainbow Magic books if they are on...I would buy the Rainbow Magic books if they are on special offer, partly for Cherub perhaps to read herself or to have for those occasions when she isn't feeling so well or needs, if I may say so, to regress a little.PixieMumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14717092173188052675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19918057.post-61407153914693638022011-11-29T06:48:33.389+00:002011-11-29T06:48:33.389+00:00Oh yes!

We have a few of the Magic Tree House books and I agree, definitely death to read aloud! <br /><br />I could live with Malory Towers or Famous Five. Come to think of it though, my eldest at this age had me reading endless Secret Seven which also get pretty boring and repetitive. It will be a happy day when Cherub is able to read the Fairy books to herself! As it is, I have tonight's exciting instalment to look forward to.

I just downloaded the Kindle e-book version.<br /><br />In the US, we have the Magic Tree House books, which are death to read aloud, as they are so formulaic, but kids just love them as they begin to learn to read. I think they are worthwhile having, but maybe not to own?Nancy Piccionehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08440982166820769813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19918057.post-4344204720525781202011-11-28T22:23:57.450+00:002011-11-28T22:23:57.450+00:00I too have complained at the madness!

She loves the Rainbow books but I have been a mean ol' Mummy and refused to read them to her, so she reads them to herself. Perhaps I should have given in and read them to her! :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03097784379722861203noreply@blogger.com
