Great books for kids!! I loved the Christian influence and my 6 year old son could relate to the situations while still reading the book himself!! HIGHLY recommend!!
This is the 17th book in the Cul-De-Sac Kids series by Beverly Lewis about a group of kids who have there own little club. They are great to read to your kids or to have younger kids (8 to 9 year old's) read them alone. I appreciate how they are biblically based and teach a lesson while they entertain. They are on a level that are extremely easy for kids to relate to as well.
The Creepy Sleep-Over is one in this series that I didn't finish. It was too scary to read to my 7, 5, & 3 year old. It kept talking about things being "creepy", "spooky", and "haunted". While the story does end well with a lesson about fear, it's still a bit too much for younger kids since it gets there imagination going in directions it doesn't need to.
