Recommended Books For Preschoolers

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.

Curious about members of Congress's favorite children's books?  Click here to read their favorite books and their explanations why.

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!

Lourie said...

"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"

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
