She is a Christian author, and a good one!... <br /><br />@Doris,<br /><b>Yay for Patricia St.John, I just finished reading her biography and we collected and read all her children's books as well! Our family LOVED those and they definitely deserve a mention,</b> I just was going of the top of my head for some of the ones we'd read specifically off the AO lists for those suggestions.<br /><br />Swallows and Amazons would be for 7-9ish and up<br />Narnia we actually read at 5yo, 7yo and again at 12yo... every time just as good! ;)<br />Little Brithces would be especially boy interest from 9ish.<br /><br />Some other books we enjoyed with 5-6 year olds (also from <a href="http://amblesideonline.org/01bks.shtml" rel="nofollow">the AO lists</a>, many are free online):<br />Wind in the Willows<br />Burgess Animal book - if you can overlook the "Mother Nature" as the role belonging to God<br />The Blue Fairy Book<br />Jame's Herriot Treasury<br />Charlotte's Web by E.B. White<br />King of the Golden River by John Ruskin<br />Peter Pan (or, Peter Pan and Wendy) by James M. Barrie [note]<br />Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi<br />The Red Fairy Book by Andrew Lang<br />St. George and the Dragon by Margaret Hodges<br />The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams<br />Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder<br />Pocahontas<br /><br />Thanks for saying hello!!<br />amyamy in peruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14514765606705513864noreply@blogger.com
