We encourage our grandchildren to read books during the summer. A few weeks ago, we visited a bookstore with them and "helped" them pick out books. Actually, we let them pick out whatever they want, then we add a couple of our suggested reading titles. Doug is going to read Eragon this summer, along with our grandson Gavin. It'll be great for them to talk together about the book, discuss plot points, and enjoy the highlights together.
Here, then, are a few titles that should be on every grandchild's reading list, at some point or another during their upbringing.
The Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet
Where the Wild Things Are
Eragon
Big Red
Of course, Newbery Award winning books are usually very good.
The most important thing is that the grandkids read. It'll give them a huge advantage in the coming school year, sure, but it also rounds them out as human beings.
