Hello, how are you doing? Enjoying monsoon? We enjoyed it. Sitting in a window, watching rain and reading our favourite books is our afternoon activities.
We still used to read aloud. My daughter is old enough to read by herself. But sometimes she needs to read aloud or like to have a competition with mummy. And then we both decide to finish as fast as we can. We discuss with details what we both like and don't like.
Honestly speaking I love to read children's books. In my childhood I didn't get these kinds of books to read. I was in a vernacular medium where our library was filled with Marathi literature and story books. Almost 70 % of the books are in Marathi and hence I didn't find any attraction towards reading. Now though I purchased books for my children but I am greedy for myself.ЁЯШБ
Kids wanted to read what mumma read. (Imitation mechanisms). This one is a plus point for me. In today's post I am sharing our favourite books for 7 to 10 years old.
THE HAWAII HEIST
The first one is the Geronimo Stilton Series.
The first time I got this book from our bookseller and after reading I was addicted. My daughter was 7 years old and she also loved it. At the back of the book she found the series and asked me to buy it. We didn't find it at the school library and so we asked our bookseller to bring the series which we wanted. Finally we have 6 books in this series.
About the Book :
Geronimo is an Italian mouse who is a journalist. He took a break and was on holiday at Hawaii. He and his teammates found someone wanting to steal the precious necklace. Did they resolve this case ? Did they catch the thief? Mysterious and funny at the same time. I love Geronimo. I guess all children love Geronimo.
Highlights of the books :
▶️ The book is filled with colorful pictures.
▶️ Bold and colourful words (highlighted )which definitely increase your child vocabulary.
▶️ Simple language and engaging scenes.
▶️ Filled with lots of fun.
THE GOPI DIARIES COMING HOME
Sudha murty is our favourite granny. We have lots of books of her especially grandma's bag of stories our all time favorites. There is a series of three books in Gopi Diaries.

This story reminds me of my grandmother. Every word of the story resembles me. How we went to grandma for summer holidays and how she loves us.

But she managed to get involved in lots of activities with her grandmother and friends. She learned cycling, papad making and also learned many things regarding plants.

DAIRY OF A WIMPY KIDS
This one is our least favourite because it is filled with boys stuff (according to my daughter) but I liked it because of humor.
About the Book :
Greg Heffley and his family lived in their grandmother's basement due to some financial loss. They were supposed to have a holiday tour but they couldn't afford it. The living conditions are boring according to Gerg. Even he can't play with his friends because they are on a trip to Europe. Finally they are able to find the opportunity to leave their grandmother driveway and explore new places with their RV. This journey is filled with lots of fun and some thrilling experiences.
