Oh, that lemonade picture! Oh my. I've been a reading maniac this summer. So, I am extra glad you asked. I gotta agree with Heather. Prayers for Sale is marvelous. Another fantastic book I've read this summer is Hunger Games. Oh, and Beauty Shop for Rent. Plus, Lisa Wingate has her new book out this month. It's called Summer Kitchen. Speaking of books, my daughter is curled up on the sofa at my feet as we speak, her cat is on her lap, and she is rereading Mrs. Piggle Wiggle's Farm. Oh, the quiet joys of parenting. Oh this post!

You would love it too, so it's a good read outloud book. From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler is also a great one. My daughter loves scary mysteries, so Mary Downing Hahn books are her favorite. They would love Mr. Popper’s Penguins by Richard and Florence Atwater.
