RosieCotton Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I have 10 days to cuddle up with my K girl while the boys are gone. Woooo hoooooo! :party: She is independent and plays alot during school time when I'm teaching the olders, and I always feel guilty we don't have hours and hours to JUST READ like I did before. She is a natural reader (reading Magic Tree House) but I want to enjoy some little girl time with her. Oh and yes do art too. I can just go walk the shelves and grab but you are all so awesome I wanted to hear your best picks. Help me with a great library list! I mean - BIG! We are finishing up Complete Pooh now. We've read alot of the FIAR book classics. And all the Dr Suess and Eastman books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachel Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Get something really girly! I'm not saying these are quality literature, but my 6 year old loves "The Jellybeans" and "Ponyella" by Laura Numeroff. She also likes "Ladybug Girl" and "Pinkalicious". For longer read alouds, "The Secret Garden", "The Little Princess" , any of the Little House books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaxy Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 My 5yo adored "Twig" by Elizabeth Orton Jones We read Milly-Molly-Mandy and she liked it, but it was just a little too precious for me to want to re-read. She also got a kick out of Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonflyer Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Here is a good list: http://eclectic-homeschool.com/300-picture-books-to-read-aloud-in-preschool-and-kindergarten/ I also love to pick a fairy tale (like Cinderella) and see how many different versions there are from around the world. We read the Zelinsky, some knock-offs, a Chinese, Indian, Egyptian, Russian... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosieCotton Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 These are all great thanks! Just fab! I've got a large request list in, will be picking them up on Friday. We have been reading Fairy Tales, Grimms, and so many fairy tales for 2 years so we are super good there. We love Beatrix Potter and have the whole set, was a huge Herriot fan (my Mom was) so good there, but there are so many others here we can read so thank you all! OH -- I also don't want to read some of things I've got set aside for 1st and 2nd grade paired with our lit programs, so it's tricky isn't it sometimes?? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosieCotton Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 These were all so great! Thanks again for the wonderful suggestions of those you have read and really enjoyed. We are enjoying our girl time this week! Tonight, cooking from the toddler cookbook. Aprons, hats and all. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawthorne44 Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) Google "100 books to read before first grade". There are a lot of books on the list. The library had it printed up. More than a weekend obviously. But, I printed that and just started with the "A's". edit to cross out that silly sentence. Of course 100 is "a lot".
