And since we're all about reading being cool here in the Land of Lovings I thought I'd spend the week reviewing a few of our favorite books for kids. Come by throughout the week and check out which books we're enjoying and leave suggestions of your own favorites!
So, without further ado, our first selection for Read Me week is:
Junie B. Jones
I know these books are a bit controversial for some moms. Junie B. Jones is, after all, a bit of a troublesome little Kindergartener. But, as it just so happens, I have a soft spot in my heart for troublesome Kindergarteners so we quite enjoy these books.
Junie B. doesn't teach kids perfect grammar or manners. And she's a no wallflower, that's for sure. But, she's hilarious and adventurous and a hysterically funny read. Both Kai and Ivy are glued to the book series and look forward each night to seeing what crazy feat Junie B. will pull off next.
I'll even admit that there have been nights when I've read more chapters than I promised to read just because I'm curious to see what is going to happen next. Which is more than I can say for some of the other kid's chapter books we've read around here.
There are tons of books in the series for every occasion and the series is also available in box sets so I highly recommend picking one up and diving in to the crazy adventures of this even crazier kid!
Now it's your turn. What books are your kids (and you) enjoying?

We love Junie B, too. But every other sentence, I'm like, "That's funny when Junie B does it, but it would NOT be funny if Olivia or Charlotte did it"
We love Junie B. So much in fact, that after I finished reading a chapter one night, I continued to read the whole book (alone).
Because I have young boys, we heart "A Series of Unfortunate Events", "Diary Of A Whimpy Kid", and they read on their own the Star Wars Series.
I HEART ALL kids books, truth be known.
OH Ramona Quimby is another favorite character.
