Grammy bought kindergartener a .50 cent chapter book at the church book sale this morning and we’ve discovered his new favorite series and first chapter book! I think for 2018 I’ll switch my book goal from 50 to 100 but include all the chapter books or graphic novel volumes I read with kindergartener. 📚#raisingreaders

Cute and clever, with fun plays on words and illustrations. Perfect for third graders.

This was a very easy chapter book for kids just starting out with chapter books. I read this book to my son and he seemed to enjoy it and the pictures on every page helped keep his attention. He liked the end of the book because of the moral in the book. I found some chapters ended too abruptly which left the story incomplete, even for a children's novel.

Another fun, fun Franny K. Stein offering from Mr. Benton. I like that we get to know a few of her heretofore nameless classmates in this one. Franny has a tendency to assume that people are different from her because they just don't know any better - I remember thinking that myself as a kid - but she is capable of learning and growth and recognizing the value in diversity. And anyone who dives in front of a huge ketchup squirt to save shelves of books is my kind of gal. :)
Again, the illustrations add so much to the story (like the truth of what goes on in the teachers' lounge!) and the chapter titles are giggle-inducingly witty. I love that Mr. Benton doesn't talk down to his readers - can't think of another book for this age group that uses "philatelist" with quite as much panache.

I think the lesson here is it's okay that other people are not always interested in our own hobbies. Sometimes, that can even come in useful. This was a pleasant one to revisit.

Amber loves this series. It's one of the few that she'll wake up and read a chapter of in the morning when no one else is awake and before she watches TV. Probably, partly because it's easy to read and partly because she loves Franny.

My daughter wants to be a mad scientist now. I'm *SO* proud!
And now my son thinks these are the best things ever. SO PROUD!
