We're currently reading Kathleen O'Dell's The Aviary, recommended for ages 8 and up.
This book is exciting and mysterious -- we're more than halfway through, at Chapter 18.
Sherri: So, Ellee, what do you think about The Aviary so far?
Ellee: So far, the book is very thrilling and enjoyable. I would recommend this book for sure. Mom, do you think The Aviary is one of the best books you've read so far?
Sherri: It's a very enjoyable read, but not one of the best books I've read so far...you have to remember that I have been reading for a VERY long time, though! I like the friendship between Clara and Daphne. What do you think, Ellee?
Ellee: It's very hard for them to be friends, but they are trying as best as they can.
Sherri: If Clara and Daphne didn't have any obstacles in the way of their friendship do you think they would be better friends, or do you think the struggles they go through have made their friendship stronger?
Ellee: I think that the struggles made them better friends because they try so hard to see each other, and when they finally do, they appreciate it more.
Sherri: I agree. Are you excited to find out more about the birds and Mr. and Mrs. Glendoveer?
Ellee: Yes. I am very excited to read more. Are you, Mom?
Sherri: Yes! Let's go read!
