Reading N's

It might be nice to read a Newbery Medal book for the letter "N".
Newbery Medals are awarded each year to the author of the most
distinguished American literature. In 2013 the medal was awarded
to Katherine Applegate for "The One and Only Ivan" which is a
pretty good book I read this summer.
But if you are in more of a naughty mood, you could read
"M is for Mischief--an A-Z of Naughty Children" by
Linda Ashman . . . or "No, David!" . . . or
  "No Peas for Nellie".

"The Boy Who Cried Ninja" is a silly picture book
by Alex Latimer and
"The Three Ninja Pigs" is a fractured fairy tale
by Corey Rosen Schwartz.

Christmas is coming in less than six months so how about
reading  "The Night Before Christmas". There are other
"Night Before . . . " books about other holidays, too.

Nancy Drew books have been around for a very long time.
They are popular mysteries that have been written by many
different authors through the years all using the same pen
 name of Carolyn Keene. This series remains so popular that
versions called "Nancy Drew Notebooks" and
"Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew" have been written especially
for a younger audience.  Beginning readers might like
the boy detective mystery series called "Nate the Great"
 by Marjorie Weinman Sharmat. Or you could read about another
Nate in "Big Nate" books. "Big Nate" is also a comic strip
in the newspaper. And the newspaper is Grandpa's
most favorite kind of reading of all!

Have a nice day reading!
Love, Grandma
