He isn't the first of ours to love them so much either - I blame their Dad :D Jenny @thebrickcastlehttp://www.thebrickcastle.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2308635202411289169.post-81063001968370103212018-03-09T11:41:26.847+00:002018-03-09T11:41:26.847+00:00Those are some great choices.

I struggled with them! It's lovely that your sons love reading. As a former school librarian I know how important it is for children to read as apart from having that mental escape where needed it really helps them with English.Catwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09361009991643507603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2308635202411289169.post-11864941241004016692018-03-08T22:00:46.208+00:002018-03-08T22:00:46.208+00:00We love Diary Of A Wimpy Kid - they are brilliant ...We love Diary Of A Wimpy Kid - they are brilliant books.
