by Shannon Hale. I would pull it off the shelf now and then and consider it for our next read-aloud, but the right time hadn't arrived.Until recently. We just finished reading this wonderful book last week.
My patience paid off. Both Bubs (8) and Welly-Bells (6) thoroughly enjoyed it, but Welly was absolutely triumphant as the sweet little romance wrapped up. Giddy even. :) She pranced around a lot and giggled a little...and I thought, Oh Boy! My little girl is growing up.
I told her that she comes from a long line of love. Couples that are madly in love for life and beyond.
I certainly haven't grown out of sweet little romances like The Princess Academy. I'm still a sucker for a good, clean fairy tale.

That got me thinking about all the other wonderful fantasy romances that I'll be able to share with her over the years. Can't wait!

These books vary in maturity, but I consider them all Deliciously Clean Reads. What books would you add to the list???
