Decades Challenge - Complete
I have completed the Decades Challenge hosted by 3m. This was one of my favourite challenges this year. I gave it a twist and made every book on my list a read aloud to my 7/8yo. This has been very helpful in making sure I read a wide variety of literature throughout the ages to him.
These are the 8 books I read aloud to my son for the challenge. Five of them are from my original list and then I realized every book I originally picked was a fantasy so I chose a switched a few out to widen the genre a bit. The 8yo loved every book I read to him but his favourites were probably Five Children and It and The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle. I loved them all except Peter Pan which I'm really not fond of at all. All the books were re-reads for me personally some for the third time.
If this challenge is on next year, I'll definitely be re-joining with the same twist. It was really helpful in picking good literature to read to my child.
