Scout's Favorite Books

I needed somewhere to put books my kids like so we can remember what they were and find other ones, so I thought I had better put it on here so I wouldn't loose it. These lists will continually be updated.

Scout is reading pretty much all her books by herself. We still occasionally read picture books to her, but she gets bored when we read chapter books with her; she would rather just read them herself. We are always looking for books around her level that she would like, so if you have any suggestions, please let me know. She definitely favors girly books, and is just beginning to warm up to books that are gender neutral. I also have put them in order of how advanced of a book they are, with the easier ones first.


A First Grader's Favorites
  • Rumply Crumply Stinky Pin by Laurence Anholt (this is a really funny book, short and easy, all the girls thought it was funny, it's a retelling of Rumple Stiltzkin)
  • Minnie and Moo by Denys Cazet (There are several of these super easy, beginning chapter books that one of our librarians suggested as a "Can't Miss" series. Scout says she likes them because they are funny.)
  • The Golly Sisters by Betsy Byars
  • Junie B Jones by Barbara Park and Denise Brunkus
  • The Pony Crazed Princess Series by Diana Kimpton and Lizzie Finlay (We read the first one to her at the beginning of kindergarten and she loved it, that summer she read it herself and has continued to read the others)

Britt, have Scout read the Fancy Nancy books, Sadie makes me read them over and over to her. She reads what she can of them though.

Oh I forgot about those. Grace loves those books, I'll have to add it to her list. Thanks Alisha.
