The Siddette has a little trouble focusing and concentrating. In contrast to her older brother, who would lay on the couch while I read to him even if the house was burning down (which, of course, could be a problem too). Reading a longer book to her is good for this, I think -- it has helped her to focus on a single story-line. But I don't have any great ideas for our next book.
Thoughts, please!

There's a similar discussion going on over at Edge of the American West right now.
ETA: I think that the first Ingells Wilder book, Little House in the Big Woods is probably appropriate for age level. I devoured the whole series shortly after discovering it.
