He reads too many books for me to keep up with and he knows when to put a book down if it is not appropriate for him. <br /><br />I am going to put a few of your books on my list. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2596079868751583870.post-13071414778067529092009-05-07T22:28:00.000-05:002009-05-07T22:28:00.000-05:00Oh yes.

And not only that, but you are right. There are some just WEIRD books out there! We got one last week that even Emilee didn't like, and she just makes up her own stories most of the time right now. We love Boxcar Children, we are on #4.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05145895231380357043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2596079868751583870.post-89168271475736157322009-05-07T21:00:00.000-05:002009-05-07T21:00:00.000-05:00We just finished reading "Paddle to the Sea" ~ it...We just finished reading "Paddle to the Sea" ~ it was scheduled in our homeschool curric (Ambleside) and we read about 2 chapters per week. My 7yo and my 5yo LOVED it, and so did I. We are starting to read "Tree in the Trail" for this term.<br /><br />As for censoring ~ I do try to censor books that my 7yo will be reading ~ if he's reading through a series like Boxcar Children, I'll try to read at least one book from the series to see what the characters are like and what kind of language they use. For the read-alouds, I sometimes replace words that we don't use around here...Wendihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15208028627279553043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2596079868751583870.post-29243075893799271502009-05-07T20:41:00.000-05:002009-05-07T20:41:00.000-05:00I love the Boxcar Children...reminds me a days gon...I love the Boxcar Children...reminds me a days gone by! Books..like many things...have to be censored - for exactly the reasons you had to remove them! I'm also amazed how scary so many children's books are. But you definitley want books that support your values, etc. Sounds like you have a lot of good ones, though....ENJOY!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02922994263280650480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2596079868751583870.post-69247671199016925692009-05-07T20:17:00.000-05:002009-05-07T20:17:00.000-05:00I love Freymann's books!

I don't read every book, but I research the ones I am not familiar with to make sure there is not inappropriate language or themes.<br />ToniThe Happy Housewifehttp://thehappyhousewife.comnoreply@blogger.com
