What a great idea for a post! She's got some graet ones on her list. I remember 'The Wheel on the School' – our teacher in grade school read it aloud to us. Ah, memories…

I've got a recommendation for her.
How about a continuation of 'Peter Pan' based on Barrie's own idea for more? Yup

Hooray for reading and thanks for listing some I might have overlooked.

I loved The Incredible Journey, Where the Red Fern Grows, The Secret Garden and Heidi as a child. Definitely plan on having them around for my kids to read.
Here's another book I loved that Jerah may enjoy: http://www.amazon.com/Big-Red-Jim-Kjelgaard/dp/0553154346/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1242922549&sr=1-1

Thanks for sharing these. I plan to read some chapter books to my kids over the summer and it is great to have some recommendations before I head to the library! It Feels Like Chaos’s last blog post..Boy - Girl Differences

I'm so jealous of those who have voracious readers. I am a certified bibliophile, but I happen to be mom to two very reluctant readers. I'm hopeful about #3, though. She is showing signs of being a future bibliophile.

Where the Red Fern Grows in on our summer read-aloud list. I loved it when I was a kid. It was the first book that ever made me cry.

I saw a couple that my 10 yr daughter loves. The Secret Garden, Heidi, and The Incredible Journey. I almost picked up Dr. Dolittle at the library last week but I already had several chapter books, but I made a mental note to get it next time. I'll check these out, Thanks!
