Last week I shared the summer reading list for my 9-year-old. This week I’d like to share the list I made for my 7-year-old, who goes into second grade this year.
Again, I chose seven books for him, and he will be choosing eight of his own. I’m only going to share the seven I’ve chosen for him, for the sake of time, but at the end of the summer, he’ll be telling you all about the books he chose as well.
1. The Wild Robot, by Peter Brown
2. Raymie Nightingale, by Kate DiCamillo
3. The Wizard of Oz, by L. Frank Baum
4. Wonder, by R.J. Palacio
5. Red Butterfly, by A.L. Sonnichsen
6. Pax, by Sara Pennypacker
7. Just My Luck, by Cammie McGovern
I also promised last week that I’d share with you the audio books we’ll be reading together this summer. They include:
1. Harry Potter the Sorcerer’s Stone, by J.K. Rowling
2. The Jungle Book, by Rudyard Kipling
3. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, by Jules Verne
4. Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott
We’re going to try to watch all the movies after we finish the books, which will make a fun reward for the end of summer reading.
I hope you enjoyed these book recommendations. Be sure to pick up a free book from my starter library and visit my recommends page to see some of my favorite books. If you have any books you recently read that you think I’d enjoy, contact me. I always enjoy adding to my list. Even if I never get through it all.
