Kicker - It's both amazing and not surprising that each child is different despite being twins, raised in the same household - same parents and environment, etc. Although my girls aren't twins, they are both very different than each other. I like that about them.

DD24 and my grandson came over last night. Their cooler wasn't working well. (Evaporative coolers do not work well in humidity and it was humid yesterday.) I bought a book on my Kindle through my Nook app. It's a cute story about a little blue truck. There are a few Little Blue Truck books. He loved it.

My son loved" Captain Underpants" (grade level 2-5) and "Holes", my daughter "Goosebumps". (again grade 2-5). Older kids will read what interests them.

i love it that both my grand daughters love to read. Both my daughters loved to read, my husband could care less about it, reads the car adds. But my son in law is a writer so books is very important in their home. I have talked to my daughter though that when we see the GK I would like for the older one to interact with us more. She would prefer to read the whole time they are here. But she is 14 so that is part of it.

I have an old Madeline book! I completely forgot about it. It's the one with the dog that saved her when she fell off the bridge or something. My girls loved those books and we would read them over and over.

Judy - Some books bring back such fun memories! And, I'm glad you are enjoying the thread and the memories it is bringing up. It is bringing up such happy memories for me as well.

I went searching on my Nook app for books for toddlers. I came across Corduroy. Another book series for little ones that I forgot about. I did get Harold and the Purple Crayon but haven't read it to my grandson yet. It's a lot longer than I remember it being.

DD26 and I were talking and I remember a series that both my girls loved...the Junie B. Jones books by Barbara Parks. Those books are so funny!!! (Some funnier than others.)

Well hopefully this nasty infection I've got going on will clear up before our scheduled NH trip, but I can tell you being reminded of all these great children's books the used bookstores up there are going to end up cleaned out . Of course I also have 2 GBs that I'll be buying books for rather than the planned on 1. I can't believe that my GS father isn't letting him take his books with him I mean he's not even the one bringing him down, it costs him nothing for his son to bring his toys and books or his clothes for that matter. But there's no point in getting upset, after all I know the kid will be spoiled rotten once he gets down here in just a few more days. And now that I've a good list of books to remember to look for he'll have more than enough to read.

This thread is causing me to make a list of books as well. Some for my grandson and some for me to reread just for the fun of it, and others I have never heard of but put on my list to read (thanks mrsD!).

My grandson loves "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" and can now recognize a good portion of the letters of the alphabet. I had already been teaching him, mainly the ones in his name, but the book is helping him recognize other letters. It's a great book!
