The girls and I have been trying to spend a few extra minutes every night reading together.  They chose a book to read to me and I have been reading a “chapter book” to them.  We just finished reading the Great Illustrated Classics Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery together. The book is about a little red headed orphan girl named Anne Shirley who comes to live at Green Gables.  Anne is full of life, spirit, and has a vivid imagination.

The book was fascinating for both of our girls.  Within the first day of starting this book we made it almost halfway.  The girls keep wanting to read just one more chapter.    I like that the Great Illustrated Classics the chapters are pretty short and they include pictures throughout the book.  I often found the girls sitting on the couch flipping through the pages of the book even before it is time for us to sit down and read together.  This is a fun book to read with the kids.
