Gracie's Summer Reading List (Part 3)

Here is Gracie's reading list for the last two weeks. We have had a couple of busy weeks so we only read most of these books once or twice.

I think Gracie especially enjoys library days. We go to the story time and then choose a new stack of ten or twenty books. When we get home, we sit together on the couch and read through our entire stack of books. Then for the rest of the week we re-read the books that Gracie likes best.

This evening I got to wondering if maybe Gracie and I choose too many books. Maybe she would enjoy them more if we only chose four or five new ones each week. It just seems that by the time she chooses some and I choose some, we have a huge stack. At least she is being exposed to many different books each week, and we do take time to re-read and savor our favorites.
