I like books, and I love lists of books–I even like books of lists. I read recommendations and like to give recommendations (i.e. this list of lists I made). But I haven’t read much literature directed primarily toward little girls (nor, I suppose, have I read much foreign pulp fiction, but that is probably only said because of my strong affection for speaking in asides–which I do frequently–in fact, sometimes the asides are required to steal the show–because what I was saying was far too pedestrian).
Anyway, not to downplay this list with a string of unimportants, here is a list of recommended read-aloud books for parents of little girls. It was compiled by Mrs. Erin Kornu, who God gifted to JECA to teach our 2nd graders. She loves lists like I do.
I hope you are able to find profit and enjoyment from these works.
This list is not meant to be all-inclusive and was compiled with the ages of 2-7 in mind, primarily.
And here is a fantastic $10 recommendation for the boys in your life.
I would add Little Women to this list.
I love the books on this list. I have read (or had read to me) most of them. All-of-a-Kind Family is one of my favouries.
