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

Since 2014, Seven Days has allowed readers to comment on all stories posted on our website. While we’ve appreciated the suggestions and insights, the time has come to shut them down — at least temporarily.
While we champion free speech, facts are a matter of life and death during the coronavirus pandemic, and right now Seven Days is prioritizing the production of responsible journalism over moderating online debates between readers.
To criticize, correct or praise our reporting, please send us a letter to the editor. Or send us a tip. We’ll check it out and report the results.
