Have a Nice Day!

Can you guys give me a list of your kids' favorite books.

My kids are 14, 11, and 7.

So far, I've heard Calvin and Hobbes. Any others?

Today is where hope lives because today is when we can make things better than yesterday.

The only thing we can be sure of is today and life isn't worth living if it isn't lived in joy for as many moments of today as we can manage.

CS Lewis's "Chronicles of Narnia"; Susan Cooper's "The
Dark Is Rising" (which actually starts with Over Sea,
Under Stone).

Dylan at seven liked anything Thornton Burgess. He still likes those and
we sometimes read them at breakfast. Dylan will be eleven next month.

He likes Ray Bradbury, "The Illustrated Man" "Something Wicked This way
Comes", "The Martian Chronicles" and others.

He's liking H.P. Lovecraft lately, the old science fiction and horror
stories.

He likes Peanuts.

He likes the magazine Muse and National Geographic.

The House With The The Clock in its Walls by ?
Watership Down by Richard Adams
The Secret Garden by Francis Hodgsen Burnett (could be wrong on the
author)
The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings Trilogy by JKK Tolkien

Oh and anything from anime. Conor has a few favorite series of
Japanese manga that he likes. Ranma 1/2 is a favorite as is Osagi
Yojimbo. Casey just LOVED the books from the Spirited Away movie.

For the last year it's been the Harry Potter series. Last night I started reading them the fourth book for the fourth time. We have June 21st on our calendar!

The only other books they have been interested in me reading to them this past year are from the Edward Eager series. Half Magic, Knight's Castle, The Time Garden etc.

My eldest has been very interested in mythology the last few months so he has been reading various books on this subject. He also can't wait for his Nintendo Power magazine to show up each month, and is often be seen with his nose in a player's guide!

For my youngest when we're reading alone it's anything Scooby-Doo. :)

I picked up the Chronicles of Narnia book series and though nobody has been interested in hearing me read them, they really enjoyed the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe video (a BBC production) I found at the library. They liked it so much I picked up the DVDs a few weeks ago that has the BBC productions of 4 of the 7 books (3 DVDs). The older two loved it and sat through the last 3 in a row, about 6-7 hours I think it was, including popcorn breaks ;)

My kids are 11, 9, and 5.
