Favorite books of 2011

We read some great books in 2011! Owen and Meg's top five chapter books were:

#1  -  The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe - I am always amazed how much symbolism the kids actually get.  Meg said to me one night, "Mom, I think that White Witch is like satan."

#2.  The Indian In the Cupboard  - This is truly one of the best books for boys!  Owen was glued to this book and we all enjoyed the movie afterwards.

#3.  Shiloh - Both Meg and Owen love animal books

#4.  Charlotte's Web - our whole family fell in love with Fern, Wilbur and Charlotte - This was probably one of Meg's favorites

#5.  The Trumpet of the Swan  -another book by E.B. White - they also liked watching the movie after reading the book

We also read lots of Magic Treehouse, and Junie B. Jones books.  Meg LOVES Junie B. and her favorite for 2011 was:
  I think we will be reading this one every year from now on!!

Now on to The Mouse and the Motorcycle a gift Owen got from his cousins Ian and Abigail.  We are starting it tonight!
