books to ignite imagination and fun for little girls

My 7 year old daughter loved this series of books. I never found any other books that she liked as much. She read them over and over again. We have given these books as gifts many times.

fabulously written, very appropriate content for younger readers!

My daughter is nearly five and reads these on her own, so it's very important to me that the content is appropriate for her to read without parental guidence. Not only is this entire series content appropriate, they are wonderfully written! My daughter simply could not stop reading until we finished the entire series. These books may be read out of order, though it's best to read book 1 first and book 6 last. The others could be jumbled and read in any order. :) The other day I asked my daughter what she wanted for her birthday, and she said she'd like another "cobble street cousin" book for every day of the year. I wish Cynthia Ryland had written as many. They are truly little gems of literature!

fun and feminine

My daughter loves these books! They are filled with warm, happy relationships, fun craft projects and girlish adventures she can relate too. Junie B. Jones is a lot of fun, but my daughter is a softer, gentler person, and these gentle books fill her imagination. She loves to imagine herself in the attic with Tess.
