getting comfortable

madelyn liked my suggestion to read her book while warming up with some hot chocolate. when she finished warming up, i found her like this. i suggested that she might be more comfortable on the couch or in her bed with a blanket, but she said she was fine like she was - without looking up from her book. this series has been so much fun! she has been reading them and i have been listening to the audio version while cleaning, cooking, etc. so that we can discuss them. it is the whatever after series from scholastic - a girl and her brother go into fairy tales, mess them up and then try to fix them. we got her the box set of the first five books for christmas (there is a sixth based on frozen/ice queen that we just ordered and a seventh releasing this year). i would recommend it to any other little readers. love.

I just learned of this series - have one as a gift to a friend of Lorelai. I think Kinley would love them. Great idea to listen to audio versions to discuss. I doubt I could listen to one as fast as they read them!!

Such a cute idea behind the series -- messing up fairy tales & trying to fix them. She did such a good job retelling the Cinderella! I'll have to read that one! :) Nana
