I feel like every child goes through a phase of wanting to know everything and trying to find facts they can memorise so that they can then show it off to their friends. This sort of curiosity is one that often leads to lots of questions being asked.

Robin is a 6 year old who has quite good reading skills! We read each and every day, though previously we have not dived into chapter books. They seemed quite daunting and grown up, especially with the lack of colored pictures. Recently, however, we got our hands on Princess Minna: The Enchanted Forest, a chapter book perfect for her age, complete with beautiful, colorful pictures for her to enjoy as well.
