1,000 Books Before Kindergarten

Purple Star emoji 14 items
Our local Library has a reading challenge through Beanstalk to read and record 1,000 books before Kindergarten. In this list you can find book recommendations of books we enjoyed reading. My boys are ages 3 and 5 so they will be within that age range...

My boys ages 5 and 3 have me read this one to them all the time over the last 2-3 years. It's absolutely one of their favorites and will be one I save for them when they grow up because of how many times I have read it!
