The Dragonsitter
Josh Lacey
@Matrimonified If she’s not insistent on “traditional” dragon stories, there’s the Dragonsitter series by Josh Lacey and the Dragons and Marshmallows series by Asia Citro. Both are appropriate for 8 year olds

Searching for Sylvie Lee
Jean Kwok
@janjowen Searching for Sylvie Lee by Jean Kwok. A student gave it to me a few years ago for Christmas, and I really enjoyed it. Generally not a big fiction reader - my ADHD brain has trouble keeping up with a plot - but this really held my interest.

Poppleton: An Acorn Book (Poppleton #1)
Cynthia Rylant
@RevSarahLocke I can think of a couple of series that are popular in my K-3 library that would be appropriate: Mercy Watson by Kate DiCamillo Poppleton by Cynthia Rylant Mr. Putter & Tabby by Cynthia Rylant Nate the Great by Marjorie Sharmat (older, but still worth it!)

How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth
Gordon D. Fee
@Eric_Conn Based on your most recent postings on here, maybe you should take a class or two on how to study the Bible, or at least read Fee’s How to Read the Bible for All its Worth. Your interpretations lack a basic grasp of using context.
