First off, I need to tell you were I fing these books. Really quickly, if you’ve watched any of my videos, you know that my favorite book lists are Read Aloud Revival and Beautiful Feet Books.

I also need to point out Leigh Ann @ Read Past Your Bedtime on Instagram. She shares the books her children read. They are all heavy readers and have all different kinds of suggestions. So go check her out as well.

So let’s start with the books my kids have read and loved. Most of these have been read alouds, but some my oldest has read on her own.

You can get search for these at BookOutlet.com OR Thriftbooks.com which both have GREAT prices for books and can give you a 15% discount.
