I'm recommending a book for the 5-8 set

[citymama]

My Father's Dragon. It's awesome! Great for young readers, especially boys I think, but my DD LOVES them. The whole set is at http://www.amazon.com/Three-Tales-My-Fathers-Dragon/dp/0679889116/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323807955&sr=8-1 or you can buy just the first book.

That was DS1's first ever read aloud using a chapter book. Great memories :)

Agree! DS1 loved it too.

I've had this in my cart for a long time but haven't bought it yet. Maybe I will get it now based on your recommendation!

Both DS1 and DD loved it too! Highly recommended!

DD and I are currently reading the trilogy as a bedtime read-aloud (her first, too Beth!!)

DS1 loved these books. Thinking I should read them out loud to DS2 now.
