From a Christian perspective , she really expanded my vision for what sharing good books could mean for a child and for a family. It includes a bibliography, organized by type of book and approximate age appropriateness. More than 20 years old, I still pull my copy down occasionally. I commend you for the gift you are giving your children! At the risk of sounding sappy :)....</p> <p> You may have tangilbe wealth untold<br /> Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.<br /> Richer than I you can never be -<br /> I had a mother who read to me. Strickland Gilliland</p> <p>There's also a great poem called, "When Mother Reads Aloud." It's just too late for me to type it all, but maybe you can find it!!</p> <p>God's blessings,<br /> Nancy G. </p> http://simplycharlottemason.com/scmforum/topic/more-pre-k-books#post-5477 Thu, 26 Feb 2009 22:57:08 +0000 hvfth99 5477@http://simplycharlottemason.com/scmforum/ <p>I second the books suggested by Kathi. We love the Numeroff books, Frog and Toad, and Madeline.<br /> Have you read Babar? There are many in the series, and my girls really like them, too.<br /> Faith :) </p> http://simplycharlottemason.com/scmforum/topic/more-pre-k-books#post-5464 Thu, 26 Feb 2009 15:16:51 +0000 baileymom 5464@http://simplycharlottemason.com/scmforum/ <p>We've liked:</p> <p>Bread and Jam for Frances (series) by Russell Hoban</p> <p>the Toot and Puddle books (series) by Hollie Hobbie</p> <p>Billy and Blaze (series) by C.W.Anderson...maybe save for readers</p> <p>books by Aliki...5 senses, Ah!

And loved them all. But now we are done and need some more idea's or thoughts on how to look for good books at this age. There are so many books at the library but how to pick good ones for the littles, I just don't always know and have come home with some real time wastings ones.</p> <p>Just looking for suggestions for the little guy up to a new reader<br /> Misty </p>
