We have quite the book worm in our house, and honestly, reading is pretty important to hubby & I too. We started reading to Sam as a baby, in the toddler years we could pass hours just reading stories to him, and reading time is built into our day-to-day routine even now. We’ve definitely got a lot of favourites! Some are pretty common, others might not be, so that’s why I thought I would start to share some of our good reads.
Let get to it! First off our favourite nature books:
- Outside Your Window by Nicola Davies {it is divided by season, and I love all the illustrations & variety of writing… highly recommend for those with nature kids in the house}
- Little Fur Family by Margaret Wise Brown {one cherished from my own childhood… our version is wrapped in faux fur, the original version was released wrapped in real rabbit fur & was so incredibly soft}
- Riki’s Birdhouse by Monica Wellington {I discovered Monica Wellington’s books when Sam was a baby, and we still adore them… this book is the reason that Sam has an interest in bird identification}
- The Turtle Book by Mel Crawford {a simple story book with turtle facts that Sam finds fascinating}
- The Desert is Theirs by Byrd Baylor {another from my own childhood, with beautiful poetry about the desert & her people… touches my childhood memories of the Southwest & personal love of the desert there}
- A Green, Green Garden by Mercer Mayer {we’ve gotten into the Little Critter books this past year}
Happy reading & learning with your littles!
{From the hardcover edition of The Desert is Theirs by Byrd Baylor}
