Eliana's Top Ten Good Reads!

Eliana is our four-year-old princess who loves to read (she's just starting to learn) and she LOVES to have books read to her.  This is her list of current favorites, including title, author, and favorite read-alouder (as she would call them):


"Fox in Socks" by Dr. Seuss 
(She likes it best when read by older brother Isaiah, who holds the speed record in our home for plowing through this tongue-twister-of-a-book!)


"The Princess and the Kiss" by Jennie Bishop


"Amelia Bedelia" books by Peggy Parrish


"Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus," by Mo Willems



"Green Eggs and Ham," by Dr. Seuss


"Snuggle Puppy," by Sandra Boynton


"Snoozers: 7 Short Short Bedtime Stories for Lively Little Kids," by Sandra Boynton




"Stories Jesus Told" by Nick Butterworth
(This book is no longer in print, but you can find it used at Barnes & Noble.>

"My Little Princess," by Tom Shay-Zapien (This book is available from Hallmark. It allows you to record someone reading the story; then the child can push a button and listen as she turns the pages!)

"Martha B. Rabbit," by Shirley Barber (no longer in print, but still available as a used book)

Many thanks to Eliana and her brothers, Addison, Isaiah, and Spenser, who helped compile this list!

Sometime soon I'll compile a couple of lists of recommended reads for older kids.

I hope this list gives you some ideas, or reintroduces you to some old friends.  I'd love to hear about what your kids are reading, too!
