Grace's Bookshelf for Age 8

In honor of Grace's eighth birthday today, I want to share with you some of her favorite books. Honestly, the favorites have not changed a whole lot this year, so the list has several repeats. We do spend a lot of time in chapter books.

Abby & her brother find themselves in the middle of fairy tales and have to find their way out without completely ruining the story.

An ideal fit for young cooks and bakers.
