My son and I just finished reading "The Tale of Despereaux"... something we determined to read prior to seeing the film. I was very delighted to hear my son say that he enjoyed the movie, however, he actually liked the book better! What a great thing to hear... It's a cute story, written by the author of "Because of Winn-Dixie." I recommend this as a light, enjoyable read. Even for your older kids, my son is a teen and he still enjoyed it. I actually used it to help him get through dish washing duty, making the work enjoyable as well as being read to. Jim Trelease highly recommends reading to your kids, however, sometimes, it's hard to find time to sit down and read together, so reading while washing made both things enjoyable.
Enjoy your summer!
