If you spend any time around my kiddos, you know we spend hours (I'm not exaggerating) each week reading. So I'm always on the lookout for new books. Any suggestions? Here are some of our current favorites.
the original Amelia Bedelia books, by Peggy Parrish
the original Curious George books, by H.A. Rey (not the silly new ones "in the style of H.A. Rey")
the Frances books, by Russell Hoban
A Tree is Nice, Janice Udry
Mother Goose anthologies, some favorites are Tasha Tudor, Marguerite de Angeli, Kate Greenaway
anything by Charlotte Zolotow, especially Do You Know What I'll Do, The Quarreling Book, May I Visit
the Angus books, by Marjorie Flack
Millions of Cats, by Wanda Gag
Pancakes, by Eric Carle
Richard Scarry books, like Best Word Book Ever and the Please and Thank You Book
The Little House, by Virginia Burton
Blueberries for Sal, by Robert McCloskey
The Chalk Box Story, by Don Freeman
Dr. Seuss books, especially Great Day for Up and Green Eggs and Ham
Annie and JJ also love poetry. Our favorite anthology is Jack Prelutsky's Read-Aloud Rhymes for the Very Young. They also enjoy most anything by Margaret Wise Brown and Aileen Fisher, and Robert Louis Stevenson's Child's Garden of Verses.
Please share your favorites, too!
