If you happen to see this book at the bookstore, grab it. It's a really fun book. I won't be a party pooper and tell you what happens at the end. 

We loved The Magic Faraway Tree that we went back in time and got the first book in the series. If you are interested in this, get the boxed series. I think there are 3 or 4 books in the series. We also started reading Heidi. This version is a shortened version that is perfect for kids below 12 years old. I'm going to get the other classics in this Collection. It's actually a really good way to refresh and remember the classics (and catch up on the ones you've missed).

I found this at the BookSale store in Shoppesville for 100pesos. I got it because it's from the creators of The Gruffalo series, and we loved that series. The book is such a pleasant surprise --- it's a combination of catchy rhymes, wonderfully drawn pictures and the value of kindness. 

And on the Kindle...

What are you #reading?

I love books, and I grew up loving them. My dad used to tell me that he plans to open up a neighborhood library, to put all my books to good use. I still love books, and I continue to buy them, even if I actually do not have time to read them. I just love the idea that I have them on hand, when I do finally get time to read. 

The only time in the day when I actually get to read books is when I read them to my kids at bedtime. So, I thought I'd do a regular post on what we are reading now. I hope it inspires you to read to your kids, too. I speak from personal experience that the more you read to your children, the more you bring them into the fold of bookreaders. They will grow to love books too, and you would have given them the gift of the world!

As you can see, the princess stories will always make their way into our repertoire. I don't really try to discourage my girls from the princesses. What I do is introduce new genres to them... like Enid Blyton's The Magic Faraway tree, which is an adventure fantasy book.

As for me, I always make sure I have books on my ipad Kindle, for days when I suddenly have time. Here's what I am reading now.
