Hi, my name is Nicole and I love to read! I have always loved to read! One of my
early childhood memories is teaching (or at least trying to teach) my younger sister how
to read. Today I am a mom of 3 boys and to my delight, my youngest shares my love of
reading! I wanted to share with you a few of our favorite books!
This year my book lover is in third grade. His teacher started off the school year
reading the book, Fish in a Tree. My son loved it so much right from the start that he
asked if we could order the book and read it together at home! We did and we both
loved it and promptly ordered two additional books written by the same author and we
devoured those as well! These books address topics like growing up with dyslexia (Fish
in a Tree), life as a child in the foster care system (One for the Murphy’s) and the highs
and lows of friendship and absent parents (Shouting at the Rain).
Last year, Jack and I read 2 book series that we loved! The first of these book
series is The Wild Robot trilogy. The Wild Robot is the story of a robot that accidentally
washes up on an island inhabited only by wild animals. The robot learns to adapt and
override her programming to become one with the wild. The Wild Robot is a book that
all 3 of my boys read in 2nd grade and they all loved it! We highly recommend you read
the first book and then go and see the movie! We loved the movie too!
The second book series that we really enjoyed last year is The Humphrey
Collection. The Humphrey Collection is an adorable 12 book series that follows the
sweet & hilarious adventures of Humphrey, the beloved classroom pet hamster, and the
class in Room 26 at Longfellow School. My son enjoyed this series so much, he just
asked me to start reading the series over again this month!
Another book series that we have and continue to enjoy is Dragon Masters,
which is perfect for 1st-3rd grade readers. My 3rd grade son is currently devouring the
of a Wimpy Kid series. I hope if you choose to pick up any of these books that you will
enjoy them as much as we have! :)
