We read a lot ! I can really tell now that I am moving books from one house to another. and the librarian knows us by name she likes us so much I have lost two books in the last year and half and she has just taken them off our record without any penalties.
This summer on our trip up to Washington on vacation we listened to the first three books in this really fun series called the Sisters Grimm. (The Fairy tale detectives, The unusual suspects, and the Problem child.) we rally enjoyed them but the next recording (Once upon a crime) was not at the library yet so we bought the book and I read it out loud to the kids even Renee' would come and hide under blanket and listen. yesterday we began Book # 5 Magic And Other Misdemeanors . The series is a lot of fun the jest of the story line is that these two girls are orphaned and come to live with their Grandma who is a descendants of the brothers Grimm
lots of the characters a in other stories like the big bad wolf and snow white, and Puck from a mid summers night dream. It is great when my kids don't want to go to bed because they want me to read a little more. The chapters are long so we have to stop in the middle of a chapter witch is sometimes hard.

I have never heard of this series but it looks like something your boys would enjoy. We like the Junie B Jones and the ballet books that you got the girls, along with Little house and the box cart children. Reading is awesome except I neglect my motherly duties by reading and reading and reading. ugh I sometimes think I am my mom
