Here is a list of my 10 favorite children books!

01

If You Give a Mouse a Cookie

​

I love this sweet relationship between the boy and the mouse.  The boy often does things for the mouse without expecting anything in return. I also love how the mouse expresses his free will. 

​

02

The Giving Tree

​

In this story, children can learn the importance of caring, giving, and how we should treat others. Sheldon Silver explains so much in simple and straightforward words.  I first read this book when I was in elementary school, but then I read it again as an adult. I still love the book but my eyes were opened a little wider regarding some of the main themes.

​

03

Guess How Much I Love You

​

This classic story is a great book for bedtime reading. The illustrations are beautiful and should be part of every child's book collection.

​

04

Love You Forever

​

I absolutely love this book. It is a great story of enduring love, from infancy through adulthood and beyond. Make sure you have your tissues close by.

​

05

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

​

I love seeing the excitement on my student's faces as I read them this incredible story. The colors are vibrant and there are many opportunities for children to engage while looking at the book.

​

06

Jamberry

​

This will forever be one of my favorite books. I remember reading it with the younger children in my family. I believe that young children will enjoy this book and the interesting rhymes especially if they like berries​.

​

07

Peter and the Wolf

​

A fantastic story for children coupled with wonderful drawings, make this book a real delight.

​

08

Ramona Quinby, Age 8

​

I love all of Beverly Cleary's books, but this one has always been my favorite. 

This book is so fun and interesting. Ramona's antics always gave me a good laugh.

​

09

The Kissing Hand

​

I love everything about this book. A beautiful story for preschoolers and young school-age children. A wonderful sentiment set to ease a child's fear of being away from his/her parents and home.
