Thursday Thirteen (My 32nd Edition) - My Favorite Read-Aloud Picture Books for Children

 

Thirteen of My Favorite Read-Aloud Picture Books
for Children
  One part of my job that I really enjoy is going to the pre-school classes each Thursday and reading aloud to them.  The children are three and four years old, and the read-aloud sessions never last more than ten minutes because that’s the extent of their attention spans.  To me, there is nothing better than quality children’s literature.  Here are thirteen of my favorite read-aloud picture books for children.

    My daughter is three and she loves these books! This last week she has been really into Mr. Brown Can Moo… She has memorized the whole thing and on Monday night she was in her room after bedtime adn i heard her talking-I went in her room to check on her and found her “reading” to herself!

    Those look like some really great books. I think I have only read three of them. I’ll have to check them out of the library and read them to my son.

    Great list! I’m really into Goodnight Moon these days because my 11 month old son is starting to recognize some of the things while we read. He should…we’ve been reading it every night before bed for the last 3-4 months! I love children’s books!
