The Chocolate Touch

We just finished reading the Chocolate Touch and really enjoyed it! The Chocolate Touch is a great modern take on King Midas' golden touch and has a great lesson about being selfish and how getting exactly what you want may not be the best thing in the world. From ruining his first trumpet solo to destroying his best friend's birthday party to causing significant issues with his family, the Chocolate Touch is a great read.

Captain Underpants

Abraham and I have started re-reading the first Captain Underpants book. We have read all the books in the series and after a short hiatus, we have decided to re-read them. My son loves the Captain Underpants books. He laughs out loud. The two kids in the books get into trouble, pull pranks, and turn their principal into an underwear-clad superhero. It's great fun.

The author of Captain Underpants has come out with a new series which is supposed to be the comics that the boys in the book create. My son isn't reading comics yet so we have skipped them, but maybe in a year or two we'll pick those up as well.

We are both ready for a Captain Underpants movie. Definitely.
