Our favorite read alouds

by Graham // 3 comments // tagged with: Elisabeth, children's literature, home schooling

Lately we have been reading aloud together often. At Rebecca's prompting, I'm going to keep a running list here of what we've read (and enjoyed) until we get the Tumblon book list feature built.
  1. Little House on the Prairie (Laura Ingalls Wilder)
  2. Little House in the Big Woods (Laura Ingalls Wilder)
  3. The Tale of Despereaux (Lisa DiCamillo)
  4. More Tales from Grandma's Attic (Arleta Richardson)
  5. Still More Tales from Grandma's Attic (Arleta Richardson)
  6. Betsy's Busy Summer (Carolyn Haywood)
  7. B is for Betsy (Carolyn Haywood)
  8. Betsy's Winterhouse (Carolyn Haywood)
  9. Heidi (Johanna Spyri)
What are some of your favorite books to read aloud? (I need to start another post with a list of books that Elisabeth reads to us - and all of us enjoy!)

There are so many great ones! How about The Penderwicks, Understood Betsy, All-of-a-Kind Family, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, The Hundred Dresses, Betsy-Tacy, or the Ramona books? And don't forget Narnia!

We're still in the young kids phase, but we have enjoyed the sounds of _Skippyjon Jones_ and _Orangutan Tongs_, new favorites.

Thank, Haley and Tiffany!

(We tried The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe a few months ago, and it was a little bit too dramatic for Elisabeth; but we'll need to try again, because I loved every minute of it!)
