What are your kids/neices/nephews (so on) fave books?

@Fungirlmmm Never actually heard of Magic Tree House. What does it promote? Equality, sharing, family love, self identity? Or do you not know? I'll be googling this later on when i'm dedicating my full time on this but I am currently making notes.

@BlackcurrentSundae It is about time travel in a Magic Treehouse. They go back in time. The one I'm reading with my little nephew right now talks about dinosaurs and stuff. The others ones are different too. They go back to Camelot and find Ninjas in some. We talk a lot about what is fact and fiction within each book, but there are Merlin Missions too. It is cheaper in the long run to buy the box set. I have the read them to the 4 year old but the older kids up to 9 grab one every time they visit.

@Fungirlmmm Does art styles matter to the kids or not? Watercolours, ink, computer drawn, comic? I did love the gruffolos style but i'm not a child haha.

@BlackcurrentSundae The older kids don't care so much about pics but the younger ones love the illustrations. About 7 years or so was when the pics stopped mattering so much. I take them to the library q lot though because I volunteer and I'm a story reader. We dress up as characters and read different stories. There is one day for the younger children and then one day for the school aged children each week. They get to do crafts based on the books we read so it gets them excited about reading.

@Fungirlmmm That's quite interesting actually, doing crafts relating to the books to get them more involved. I was wanting to visit 7 stories locally regularly when I have my first completed book (illustrations and all) and read to the kids on the chair up on the top floor. They have dressing up clothes for the kids which I hoped they could use to tell the story with me. Haven't asked the staff yet haha, another mission for next year but ive had all my checks done and no one ever sits in that chair anyone, i'm sure theyd appreciate a free hand to read to the kids.

@BlackcurrentSundae We do a lot of summer enrichment programs with them. There is a little area for the kids to dress up too. Lots of Dr Suess stuff. It is a lot of fun reading to them.

@Fungirlmmm I may read other books to them too. It would probs be a bit boring reading the same book over and over. Hoping for books with ROARING animals, hoping for books for adventure and cunning. I also hope there is one about the circus as I'm studying it at Level 3 and would love to teach the kids some skills on the side haha.

@BlackcurrentSundae sounds fun. I'm teaching my nieces to juggle.

This is very simple but looks incredibly complicated. It would be interesting to try and teach them how to do something like this :)
