NEW BOOK!!! YAY!!!
After finishing the Bone book Little Man and I picked The Boxcar children by Gertrude Chandler Warner. (I really pushed for this book lol... it's great)
This is the story of four little children who lost their parents and are trying to survive on their own. They find an abandoned boxcar and decide to make it their home.
I loved this book when I read it in elementary school. This book has a reading level of Grade 3-5. However, Little Man is four years old and he is able to keep up with the story. So far we are on chapter 5.
We read one chapter a night and they are very short and at the beginning of each chapter is cute black and white picture of what happens in the chapter to come.
This is a great book for a child of any age. The small adventures are sure to keep them entertained!
UPDATE::: We have finished the boxcar children!! Yay! Our first "chapter" book read! Little man was very exciting during most of the reading. However, he did get a little bored with the little details.... he likes the action, stormy nights, finding pets, building a swimming pool. While reading this book held his attention, there were times when he was a little bored. Overall, this book was pretty good!
