Preschool Picture Book Round-up

Textbook Free Preschool Humility and Doxology

Reading picture books aloud to my children (regardless of their age) is such a delight.  There is something especially precious, however, about cuddling up with your 3 or 4 year old with a beloved picture book.  Their bodies are still squishy and lovable, and they snuggle close as you turn the pages.

My youngest child is now preschool age, and I love getting to introduce him to many of our family’s favorite picture books!  There are books we have read so frequently that I can nearly recite the lines by heart.  Some of our favorites (like Freight Train) have had to be replaced multiple times over the course of 5 children as they’ve been loved to pieces!
