It makes me very happy to see kids reading. That's how I always spent my summers. Clubhouse and Clubhouse Jr are wonderful magazines. One of my stories was in the June issue of Clubhouse Jr.

That is a great list of books she read!
Wow, i am surprised at how the pages added up.
My guys like to read a lot, too. I've never kept track of the number of pages, though. We might have to do that and see how many they do in a month.
Way to go!

Oh, I didn't know you got Clubhouse Jr, too! I thought it was just Clubhouse. Tell your daughter thanks for looking it up! I loved the way they illustrated the story. I wish I knew who the artist is!
