It is hard to know if a book is age appropriate and I certainly don't have time to read everything before she does. <br /><br />On a side note, Hayley is burning through these! She is on the 4th one now, reading straight through. She usually gets bored with a book and switches back and forth between different books. These are definitely keeping her interest.Candy @ So little time...https://www.blogger.com/profile/05308027187577034357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650768524127186637.post-99647952522318212012-07-14T14:51:05.454-07:002012-07-14T14:51:05.454-07:00I would love to read these with Aubrey.

I hope I can get my hands on them in about ten years! ;) Like Laura said, it would be a challenge to let our daughters to read books and become exposed to too sophisticated a topic. It would also be difficult to pre-read everything they want to read, as they will be reading so fast and will probably want to read the book before I get a chance to read it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12616960523843655153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650768524127186637.post-89768051347762286592012-07-13T20:46:28.665-07:002012-07-13T20:46:28.665-07:00Oooh, I didn't realize there was a movie!

I have them all except "Daddy Long Legs" which I found in the library a long time ago. I loved the movie with Fred Astaire and when I saw the book I just had to read it.Candy @ So little time...https://www.blogger.com/profile/05308027187577034357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650768524127186637.post-27194353792308758952012-07-13T11:47:41.060-07:002012-07-13T11:47:41.060-07:00I've seen these in the bookstore, and they loo...I've seen these in the bookstore, and they look so cute :o) Love the idea too!<br /><br />The Betsy-Tacy books are AMAZING!!! I read the first few when I was late elem/middle school, I think? And then in high school I tracked down all the rest of them -- it's a really cute series that follows 2 friends through their growing up years, and actually all the way through school, college & getting married. Super fun stories, but old ... I'd love to one day have the collection, I think they're actually being reprinted ...

T...Oh, I expressed myself clumsily! I'm sorry!<br /><br />The reading upper-elementary-age daughters are the problem. They drive their mothers nuts! They're intelligent and able to devour a book in an afternoon, with plenty of too-sophisticated novels in the YA section of the library to tempt them. My friends would struggle to pre-read books!<br /><br />I, on the other hand, have sons who were not much interested in reading. My eldest did read my books and said he enjoyed them. I had to laugh, however. Although I gave him print copies, he bought ebooks and read them on his smartphone. The first book's pink-pink cover was too much for the male ego.Laura Hilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04393914692472097388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650768524127186637.post-4964747249010633202012-07-12T16:54:15.966-07:002012-07-12T16:54:15.966-07:00I completely agree: a great way to introduce young...I completely agree: a great way to introduce young women to the amazing heroines of classic literature!
