Chapter Book Update

Kylee, Makenna and I decided that I had not actually read Ramona Quimby, Age 8 to them. So I am reading that now.

To follow up our reading of Holes, we watched the Holes movie last night. The movie follows the book very closely and I recommend both. It would definitely be better to read the book first though.

"Hoot" by Carl Hiaasen is also a good option for a book/movie combo, though the movie veers more from the book than does "Holes."

Plus, Hoot movie has a fun soundtrack featuring Jimmy Buffet (but also a really terrible cameo by Buffet as a science teacher).

I recommend "Caddie Woodlawn" to read aloud to the girls. I think they'd really enjoy it.
