I keep thinking maybe they weren't that popular because it seems like a lot of women my age never heard of them! I even had Mandy's cookbook. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-do-you-hope-to-read-to-your-lo-as-they-get-older#post-2546623 Wed, 11 May 2016 16:31:00 +0000 JenGirl 2546623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: I LOVE The Last of the Really Great Wangdoodles!

And Harry Potter. I recently bought the first Ramona book for my Goddaughter because her mom said they weren't reading her chapter books yet (she's 5) and I thought it was time and that would be a good introductory one (that sounds pushy, but I didn't demand they start reading it to her, I just said it was one of my favourites when I was little). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-do-you-hope-to-read-to-your-lo-as-they-get-older#post-2546242 Wed, 11 May 2016 12:19:39 +0000 Umbreon 2546242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't wait for the day when I can read Nancy Drew to my kids. I own over 100 books...I was a bit obsessed as a kid, and I admit I still buy them sometimes at used book sales for 50 cents each. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-do-you-hope-to-read-to-your-lo-as-they-get-older#post-2546200 Wed, 11 May 2016 11:18:45 +0000 bloved 2546200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 2 boys so many of my favorites probably are not going to hold their interest. But of the ones I think they will care about:</p> <p>Harry Potter<br /> A wrinkle in time<br /> The witches<br /> All of the Fudge books by Judy Blume<br /> Wayside School<br /> The miraculous journey of Edward Tulane<br /> Holes<br /> Percy Jackson series </p> <p>(The last 3 are ones I discovered as a teacher and absolutely love). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-do-you-hope-to-read-to-your-lo-as-they-get-older#post-2546142 Wed, 11 May 2016 10:30:02 +0000 littlebug 2546142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Harry Potter, for sure!

Maybe your childhood favorites or DH's. </p> <p>My parents never read longer chapter books with me, so I'm hoping this is something I can do with the girls in the next couple years. I will definitely be saving my Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Narnia type books for when they are a little older to understand. </p>
