All this week at the girls school there is a Book Fair and the theme in every classroom is Bedtime Stories. So I thought Why Not post what we are reading as our bedtime story. With girls 7,5,and 4 they have somewhat outgrown, I should say have memorized, Dr. Seuss for a night time story and I usually end up reading two or three. I know, can we say push over?!? That is when I decided to read them a fairly large chapter book, you know something that would take a few weeks to get through. For the first one we picked out The Sisters Grimm The Fairy-Tale Detectives by Michael Buckley. Pumpkin and I picked this up at the library and since they loved it so much I broke down and bought the paperback for our Little Mochi library. We have made it to chapter four and the girls love it! It is a tiny bit scary for Pumpkin and there are parts that are "make me laugh out loud funny"! It is so much fun for me to see the girls when I use "my" British and Grandma voice, they think it is great and it really brings them into the story a bit more. I am so happy with this book it has sisters, fairy tale characters, mystery, and an eccentric Granny. Come on! What more can a little munchkin want in a bedtime story. The one thing that I LOVE, four girls snuggled into a bed giggling and getting a little frightened as we follow the Grimm Sisters on their adventure.
Ja matta ne,
