Madeline's chapter (and poetry) books in 2012

I've always loved reading to Madeline and now she's reading to me. Cray-cray, I tell you. Next thing you know, she'll be losing a tooth or something.
One of my favorite things about homeschooling is all the time to read together. We have our favorite reading spots all over the house: the couch under the window in the morning, our two red chairs during school time, the table at lunch and Madeline's bed before naps. Sometimes we cuddle; other times she's coloring or doing her "Highlights" magazine or weaving. 

Yes, weaving. She got a square, plastic loom at Christmas and now every person she knows will be receiving brightly colored potholders from now on.

Anyways, here are the chapter books we read last year when Madeline was 4 and 5.

Madeline has fallen in love with poetry this year. She still loves a good story but she frequently picks up a poetry book and asks to read it together. I'm glad she likes all kinds of literature but I'll be honest. Sometimes I'm especially grateful for her interest in poetry because I can read several poems in way less time than one chapter and before nap time, this is priceless.
