A List of Lists of Great Books for Elementary Readers
In addition to my daughter’s own favorites here’s a round of lists where you’ll find great reading material for your elementary reader.
My Daughter’s Favorite Picks
- The Prodigal Cat: By one of my own favorite authors, Janette Oke my daughter has read this book about 3 times so far. Obviously she loves cats.
- Life with Lily (The Adventures of Lily Lapp): This is the first in the Lily series. I admit to starting my daughter on Amish fiction early. She enjoyed this and I keep promising to get the rest in the series. Bad mom!
- Mandie Books: So when my daughter isn’t looking I read her copies of the Mandie Books. These cute stories about character Mandie are set back at about the turn of the 20th century. There’s even a website!
- Anne of Green Gables: Right around the beginning of this school year she started to take an interest in this classic.
- Diary of a Real Payne: Cute book about a school age girl that gets into a few pickles and scrapes. Christian emphasis.
