I love to read. March 2nd was the NEA's Read Across America Day. It was a celebration of reading in honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday. This month I will be listing recommended books for all ages. To start off, I figured I would start with books for the youngest readers first.

Those are a wonderful set of books, I found you through friday follow:) Happy Friday! From Organic Girl and Todays Diva
My 7 year old son has always loved reading. The younger two? Not so much. I'm glad that my 3 year old is expressing more interest these days... even if it is because it prolongs bedtime. ;)
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Corduroy has always been our favorite! My daughter loves Chicka Chicka boom boom!
"I Love you Stinky Face" hahahaha! I will have to find this one. The title alone has me curious.
Ever read, "Walter the Farting Dog"
These are some of my daughters favorite books and many of them are recommendations from various libraries.
Hi there. I am now following from your plea at The Product Review Place and Friday Follow! Thanks for linking up!

Hey there!!! I am just dropping in from SITS to welcome you! I think you are gonna love what they have to offer and really, who doesn't love new friends!?!
I cant wait to find out about the next level of books...I have 3 kids, 5, 4 and 2. The 5 yr old reads at a grade 2 level and keeping her mind full of possibilities is one of my favorite things...I buy them each a book a week!
All the best,
Danon
Thanks for the suggestions - I have an almost 3 year who absolutely loves books.
Welcome to SITS!
Love many of those. I also enjoy "Is My Mama a Llama?!"
Stopping by from SITS!
So many titles on your list that I read to my kids - and my oldest is almost 19!
