For anyone who doesn't know, The Magic Tree House series is IJ's favorite right now. They are beginner chapter books that takes kids all over the world, all through time. Mary Pope Osborne is one of my favorite children's authors because her stories are well-researched and educational, yet are exciting and easy to read. There are over 40 books in the series so far (not including the research guides). IJ's goal is to read them all. He can read between three to five in one day.
Yesterday IJ received at our most beloved library the Magic Tree House books that he has left to read. He said to me, "Mom, when I finish the last Magic Tree House book, I will weep like Alexander the Great did when he realized there was no more land to conquer!"
How is that for a book-loving homeschooler?
