I thought I'd share what Ignacio and I are reading from time to time. This is simply what we are reading for fun. I will probably also be editing posts to include mini reviews.
Reading together: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl
Ignacio is reading: Stink and the Freaky Frog Freakout by Megan McDonald
I'm reading: A Very Long Engagement by Sébastien Japrisot
We chose to read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at bedtime, three chapters a night. Ignacio loved it. He is a huge Roald Dahl fan, this was the third of his books he read. We also read his biography. I love that Roald Dahl never shied away from using complex vocabulary in his children's books.
ETA:
A Very Long Engagement was great. Beautifully and creatively written. I would definitely recommend this, especially if you are a fan of historical fiction. If you are a fan of the movie, as is always the case, there are many things they changed and a lot was left out. Reading the book would definitely be worth your time.
It was no surprise that Ignacio loved Stink #8. He is looking forward to reading the Stink-O-Pedias now.
