We LOVE reading in this house.

I mean really, REALLY love it.

The day I told the girls I had brand new books for them to read was a party and a half. They were so excited, and when we cracked open the books from the “Travels with Gannon & Wyatt” series it was all over.

I mean, it’s ANIMALS!

The girls immediately dove in and scanned for pictures first, because the pictures of the live animals (the alligator was a big hit for our little alligator), and they couldn’t wait to see every one of them.

Once they’d settled down we sat down to read.

The stories are told in journal form, with separate entries by both Gannon & Wyatt, which make for short “chapters” perfect for my ADD readers.

I also love that each of the entries start with a great learning opportunity (or 2).  They list the location – with a longitude and latitude. Temperatures and weather listings are there too.  These gave me and the girls some great chances to talk about what these things are, and find a map (~cough~ or a computer ~cough~) to look them all up. Of course, there’s all the animals, which my kids LOVE.  Oh, and at the end, there’s a few pages with spots for journal entries.  The girls are dying to take a trip to the zoo to use them!

Kennedy got to read first and eagerly dove in, and by the time she was home, she was dragging Molly over to join her.

Hearing Kennedy say words like “Botswana” and “Kalahari Dessert” at her young age, is so much fun. She’s having fun, she’s reading, and she’s learning.

Kennedy has taken a shining to the Botswana book.  It has all the animals she loves. Elephants, alligators, rhinos and cheetah’s.

We love sitting down and devouring chapters as fast as she can.

I have a feeling these books are going to be long lasting around here, so much to read and learn, and the older they get, the more they’ll understand!

As you can see below, the girls HIGHLY recommend the books and want you to win a set of your own. (Look below the picture for how to win)
