My 6-year-old just read her first chapter book all on her own! I'd been looking for a chapter book that she might be able to read by herself, and I am pretty pleased with myself as my first choice turned out to be a hit. Like Pickle Juice on a Cookie by Julie Sternberg (it's her first book) has super-short chapters (1-3 pages) and short sentences placed on separate lines, so it's a lot less intimidating than long paragraphs and pages dense with words. In this sweet book, 8-year-old Eleanor's babysitter Bibi, who has taken care of her her whole life, moves away, making Eleanor's summer "as bad as pickle juice on a cookie." But Eleanor adjusts to a new babysitter, while never forgetting Bibi. A great first chapter book.Sunday, October 16, 2011

Hooray! The best part of reading, is they stay occupied for longer. :) I've never heard of this book, it looks so cute, and I love the title.
