Both our boys hold a special place in their hearts for My Father's Dragon. It was the first chapter book that really hooked them.
—Angie Ferenc
I Know a Shy Fellow Who Swallowed a Cello. Random, but perfect for my music-obsessed little guy.
— Becky groberg
Right now it's The Book With No Pictures. My son thinks it's hilarious!
— Stephanie Williams
Big Nate, Geronimo Stilton and Star Wars Jedi Academy: A New Class are my oldest's favorites right now — he's super into graphic novels. My youngest son is loving Elephant and Piggie and the Pigeon books (both by Mo Willems).
— Jessica Stehmeyer
It's the Little House series right now, but also books by Arnold Lobel and Kevin Henkes are forever favorites.
— Rachel O'Donald
Last year when my son was 5 years old, we made a top 5 list after reading over 150 children's books over summer break. His favorite was Prince William by Gloria Rand, about a child saving a baby seal from an oil spill. This year, it might be Star Stuff: Carl Sagan and the Mysteries of the Cosmos by Stephanie Roth Sisson.
— Lisa Marie Berry
Currently we are reading How to Track a Truck by Jason Carter Eaton and Pet Show! by Ezra Jack Keats nearly constantly.
— Katherine Guttman
