I have a six year old & a four year old. Since infancy, I've read to them every night before bed...children's books mostly.
Now, I think it's time to start actual novel length stories. I want to introduce them to fantasy & adventure stories. However, being many decades removed from childhood reading, I can't think of a lot of stories I want them to hear that are age appropriate. By age appropriate, I don't mean the exclusion of violence or potentially scary material. I just don't want graphic violence, sex, etc. Think G, PG, or maybe even PG-13 if it's the right book.
My list so far:
1) Treasure Island (Starting tonight)
2) The Hobbit & LoTR
3) The Lion, the Witch, & the Wardrobe
4) Harry Potter books
Hoping you all could help me add to the summer reading list.
Thanks.
