If you have not read the Caldecott Award winner for 2008, by artist/author Brian Selznick, published by Scholastic Press, DO! Truly, we cannot recommend it heartily enough. He-Twin and I were so entranced, he insisted I read it aloud while he showered---it's that engrossing a story! (Thankfully, we have a transparent shower curtain, so I could share the story-propelling, illustration-rich passages...)
Thanks to a long-term, mutually respectful, reading-centric relationship between Twinfatuation and Scholastic Books, we just received a courtesy copy of Brian Selznick's newest masterwork, Wonderstruck!
Better yet? We are going to give a copy of this stunning, same-style, similarly formatted tome to a Twinfatuation commenter THIS WEEK! Chances are, it'll arrive in time for Christmas...and would be a weighty, wonderful, full-family gift under the tree.

Lauren is reading "Life according to girls" and really enjoying it right now!
A current favorite in our house is Matilda by Roald Dahl. We love to hate Miss Trunchbull!!
We're at the stage where "Have you seen my potty" gets read about 24 times a day. The girls are more interested in pointing to the animals and making their sounds than they are actually using a potty, but we're working on it!
Babar the Elephant.
Over, and over and over again!
Oh, we're still enthralled with The Magic Tree House series! We so love Jack and Annie...and my 2 love to pretend to be them. (well, my 3 - Burke and Logan 'fight' over who is Jack...Logan usually ends up being the poor person who was changed into a mouse or a dog...)
Staying with the whole potty theme, our girls can't get enough of "Potty", by Leslie Patricelli. Cute drawings and short sentences keep their attention easily and hopefully help teach them to use the potty when they need to.
