Right now I'm reading The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane to the boys. They LOVE it. It's a great chapter book about a stuffed rabbit who goes on a "miraculous journey." The chapters are short and so we read one chapter before nap every day. I really like it because there are some words in the text that aren't familiar to the boys and so we get to broaden our vocabulary.
For my own reading pleasure I'm reading Instructing a Child's Heart and A Well Trained Mind. I'm really enjoying both books. Instructing a Child's Heart gives great practical instruction on changing a child's heart not just his behavior (something I think most people need a little help with). A Well Trained Mind is a guide to the classical education system and has really been inlightening for me. I highly recommend it for parents who aren't happy with the education that their children are receiving.
