Anything written by Sharon Creech makes a wonderful, terrific, I-can't-put-it-down, don't-stop-now kind of reading!
Ruby Holler is an especially precious story about two orphans who live out their days in drudgery at the Boxton Creek Home for Kids until Tiller and Sairy magically appear for them.
Love That Dog and Hate That Cat are precious stories written in a journal kind of prose that leaves the reader, reading the child's journal! In between the journal entries, the reader also learns a little more about some wonderful Poets!
Granny Torrelli Makes Soup is a magical book that crosses the generation gap and every Grandma in the world will want to share this story with a grandchild.
The list goes on and on as Sharon Creech uses kid friendly language and wisdom from a parent/grandparent point of view to weave a story so rich in language and metaphor, family and friendships, and little bits of miracles that really do appear in everyday life.
Enjoy reading these books aloud with your kids!
