These books have been a source of entertainment for the boys
the past few years. They first appealed to my middle son, who could relate to
the main character. Than my youngest started to devour them to imitate his
favorite sibling. These books have also come in handy when we're out grocery
shopping, one or both boys like to sit in the shopping cart and simply read
while we try to procure food. Plus it is nice when I catch both boys at home,
reading the same book, and laughing at how portions compare to their own lives.
I wonder once the Diary
of a Wimpy Kid series looses it nostalgia what new books will capture their
attention. Our eldest child used to be into Edgar and Ellen
and we still have a few of his old books lying around. I tried to get our
youngest into "Rare Beasts", but he had no interest even when I read
out loud (articulating my voice in hopes of bring it to life). I guess we'll
just need to wait and see where their interests lead them. I'll be standing by
waiting to indulge them and expand their imaginations with the written word.
We still have a bunch of those Goosebumps books but I think
they are still a bit too young... and who wants to be up all night to make sure
nothing crawls from under the bed, leaps from the closet, or shadows coming to
life?
