1: A Joy to Read with Little Girls
This series of books are such a treasure! My 5 year old really likes the stories. I appreciate that the girls are kind to one another and to others. They are good examples of how to treat adults and other children. The books themselves are a good transition between picture books and longer chapter read aloud books. The Lighthouse Family Series by Cynthia Rylant is also a keeper. If you love this series, I'm sure you'll love the other as well!

2: beautiful stories for young girls
I just loved this entire series as did my 7 year old daughter. The story revolves around three girls who are living with their aunt while their parents are overseas. They play, create and have lovely, lighthearted adventures. Each girl is given her own unique personality, her own style. The illustrations are so sweet, so detailed. My only regret is not having bought this series in hardcover as my daughter has read and re-read it so many times.

3: Loved this Series!
My second grade daughter loved this series! These were books that she would read on her own without having to be encouraged to do so. When she took a break from reading the books, she would use her imagination to play out parts of the stories. There are very few books that she's done that with. My one piece of advice with this series is that the first book (In Aunt Lucy's Kitchen) should be read first. It introduces the characters that are in the rest of the books. After that, I'm not sure that it's crucial which order the stories are read until the last 2 books. They should definitely be saved for last. They deal with the cousins leaving Aunt Lucy and then returning for Aunt Lucy's wedding. I'm a big fan of Cynthia Rylant's and these books lived up to her reputation.

4: Another charmer from WV author
I LOVE this book! I did a literature box on this book for a class and fell in love with the characters. It's about 3 cousins who live w/ their aunt for the summer while their parents are on a ballet tour. They go through different adventures, facing each one with courage, ingenuity, and wit. They contain great character ed models. I would recommend to any 1-6 grader(especially girls) who like a good read.

5: Cobble Street Cousins in Aunt Lucy's Kitchen
My six year old who is just beginning to read chapter books loved this book and we are searching for more in the series. Three 9 year old cousins are living with their Aunt Lucy for a year while their parents are touring the world with the ballet.They start a cookie making business which leads them to meet all kinds of people in their neighborhood. Aunt Lucy owns a flower shop and has a charming old house and the girls live in her attic.Each of the girls has a very creative and unique personality and they get themselves into all kinds of adventures. My six year old girl loves the books.
