The princess in black is my daughter's favorite book right now.
Published by Mary Claire , 4 years ago
My daughter (6) loves the illustrations, the plot, and of course the main character. The chapters are short and simple. I am reading it aloud to her before bed at night but I expect she will be re-reading this to her self before Christmas.. I've heard re-reading a book you first listened to is actually really good for emerging readers.. I hope so because I want her to find a book she loves so much she can't wait for bedtime!!
