Recommended Reading: Good reads for 5-6 year olds

This week we listened to some great kids books as we were driving around. Big sister A was very excited to hear what happened next in each case.  I think that is a good indication of the story being at the right level for her.

I also read A Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. It is yet another dystopian novel.  Such a depressing kind of literature, but so many of them are modern "classics".  This one was well written and yet I really had to make myself plow through it in a lot of places because it was sickening.  I don't feel like it was enlightening about the future possibilities or anything, as other reviewers commented on Amazon and GoodReads.  I don't recommend it.
