It pains me greatly. I would <i>love</i> to read it, as it's one of my favourites and I've been wanting to reread it as is (...and discovered it was one of the books that didn't make my multiple moves). I've never read the Mary Poppins books! Those might be really great.

David loved the Winnie the Pooh books around 4, although I don't know if they would be too tame for the 7 year old. You could look into these series: Cam Jansen, Anna Hibiscus, Bink and Gollie, Geronimo Stilton, Humphrey by Betsy Birney, the Mary Poppins books (a little crazier and scarier than the movie suggested!), and the Lindsey Stefannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7178753992132096505.post-15356142893964677722015-01-31T13:27:10.495-05:002015-01-31T13:27:10.495-05:00The Beka Cooper series sounds awesome!

I feel like the only woman in America that does not click with it. And very sad that the 4 year old finds Narnia scary:(.

I also thought of the Boxcar Children the other day too. There is another fun little series about the Penderwick girls. Of course, if you are nannying two boys I'm not sure they will be into the idea of 4 sisters. But they were cute books. Oh!

I couldn't find Lucky but upon some googling, is it by any chance Sparky?
