Christmas
This story is the perfect read aloud for the Christmas season! A few mugs of hot cocoa and a cozy blanket is my favorite way to read this. My daughter loved this book from when I first read it. The illustration pair perfectly with the words, which is great for a children's book. It's such a classic for the season!
The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg

This is a really nice book for littles that tries to express why we celebrate Independence Day.
