I enjoy reading with my granddaughters before they go to bed. We take turns reading a Bible story before bed and then I read a short story or chapter of our current book. Right now we are reading Ramona Quimby Age 8. I have been really stressed lately, so it was really fun to read and laugh together at some of the funny situations Ramona gets herself into. My 8-year-old was so interested in the story that she read it by herself not long ago. So I have to remind her NOT to tell the rest of us what is going to happen in the next chapter.
We have so many books in our home, and my 6-year-old has already picked "The Little Princess" to read next, even though we have already read it. The last book we read was a book of Fairy Tales. It took us probably about a month to get through it. And my! were there some horrid stories we read. I actually skipped some of the words while reading. But we were determined to get through the book. We all just sort of said, "Yuck, that is disgusting" at parts of the stories.
I much prefer reading Ramona Quimby, The Little Princess, or Sarah Plain and Tall.

My grandchildren love the Roald Dahl books, especially Danny the Champion of the World and The BFG.

We also read bedtime stories and our home is constantly filled with new library books!
