My daughters (ages 3 and 6) love the Pioneer Woman. They watch her Food Network show and tell me that everything Pioneer Woman makes is delicious. The bad news: My cooking will never measure up. The good news: They'll try new foods if it's a Pioneer Woman recipe.
Ree Drummond is the woman behind the wildly successful blog and cooking show. She also writes children's picture books starring her bassett hound Charlie. Charlie is King of the Ranch.
We love all the Charlie the Ranch Dog books that we've found at the library. This week, we chose Charlie and the New Baby. These books are fun to read aloud because you can read them in a lazy, country, ranch dog voice. Daddy does it best. The kids love reading along with the parts they know and joining in when Charlie dozes off, snorts awake, or howls.
The classic Charlie books are our favorites, but there are also some easy reader books that my first grader enjoys when she reads aloud to us.
