Favorite Books The following list of authors, books and series are taken from the firetime and notebooking egroups at yahoo. They are mainly compiled from those who have responded to posts asking about books for boys. I included books that were also posted from those asking about books for kids and also for girls. There is a section below that has just girl books but some of them are also listed in the general book list. Please remember that these are not just strictly for boys, they are wonderful for the whole family. If I have titled or authored a book wrong, feel free to correct it for everyone, as I did look through all of the archives and may have just written it down wrong or something. Please also comment on some of your favorites so others can hear the ratings again or ask about a certain book also. Again, this is not my personal list, but taken from the egroups…and not all of these books will be for every family. It is your responsibility as the parent to obviously read what each book is about and decide with your child whether it is appropriate or not. Terri will be posting this list on her website so check it periodically for updates and changes. I would love for all of us to continue adding to this list, so keep those reviews coming in on new books that your family is reading. So Terri and the rest of us can keep our list growing along with our children. Thanks to everyone who responded to the past posts so the list could be possible to make. I praise the Lord for all of you out there willing to take the time to share and help others! Happy Reading!! Abznmom in WI Author Albert Payson Terhune
