Precious book with darling illustrations that kids can pick up on what animal comes on the next page because of the rhyming.
Flip, Flap, Fly!: A Book for Babies Everywhere
A fun book for little ones to guess what’s on the next page and the last page has a mirror where they see themselves.
Peek-a-Who? Interactive Lift the Flap Book
We like Night-Night Little Pookie too.
What's Wrong, Little Pookie?: Boynton, Sandra ...
It’s just delightful.

A true classic
The Very Hungry Caterpillar
We love these sheep books
Sheep Go to Sleep (board book) (Sheep in a Jeep)
Such a cute rhyming story.

Chapter Books
This lesser known Roald Dahl book is such a fun and exciting story. All my kids have loved it as a read aloud.
Danny the Champion of the World by Roald Dahl
This story is a little bit spooky, but Roald Dahl is such a marvelous story teller and you’ll be hooked right away.
Witches Books
Even if you’ve seen the movies, they just don’t do the book justice. It’s a must read.
Matilda by Roald Dahl, Quentin Blake
This is probably my favorite of all his books. True stories from his life told in such an enthralling way.
Boy: Tales of Childhood by Roald Dahl
A childhood must. The later books get more intense.
Harry Potter Paperback Box Set (Books 1-7)
More advanced elementary aged to middle schoolers love this series.
8 Book Box Set by Shannon Messenger
Great mystery books. Super fun to watch the tv series after too.
The Series — The Mysterious Benedict Society
Picture Books
This is one of Dr Suess’s most under-appreciated stories.
Too Many Daves
A classic.
Horton Hears a Who! - Dr. Seuss: Books
A collection of short and wonderful animal tales.
James Herriot's Treasury for Children
Lovely story with magical illustrations.
The Wonderful Things You Will Be
The best book for a kid with anxiety
Very Worried Walrus (Sweet Pickles Series)
Really cute book about a kid who is nervous for a sleep over and is embarrassed to take his stuffy. Best ending.
Ira Sleeps Over
