It is time for Week 5 and this week the books are really terrific. http://www.wegivebooks.org/readformysummer. I hope everyone else has been enjoying them as much as I have. There are all kinds of fun activities too. My camera is still iffy so once again I have to do this without video but I am saving up to fix that.
The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter: Ages 0-3
Score 4/5
This book is about a rabbit named Peter and his adventures one day in a garden that is close by. His mom told him to stay away from there but he was naughty and had all kinds of trouble.
How I rated it:
Readability: I really liked reading this story.
Score-1
Age Appropriate?: I think this book is more for the 4-7 age group. It is a story with a lot of details that really little kids might not follow.

Madeline by Ludwig Bemelmans: Ages 4-7

This book is about a little girl and her friends in Paris. They visit all kinds of places and have fun, in Paris, and then she gets sick and has to go to the hospital, but she has fun there too.
How I rated it:
