Reading, however, can be a great way to spend those hours and escape into a world filled with laughter, fun and tons of enjoyment. Yes, grab a book, snuggle up with your kids, a pitcher of something chilled and get reading!
Here is a list of books that your preschooler and you may enjoy reading this season:
Dr. Seuss’s Beginner Book Collection
A boxed set of 5 most-loved Seuss classics including Green Eggs and Ham, Cat in the Hat and One Fish Two Fish, this is a collection that is bound to make reading hour fun and lively!
The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle
A treasured classic, this book is a summer favorite as it follows a hungry caterpillar eating his way through the book as he moves towards becoming a butterfly. A great book that can help kids learn counting, days of the week as well understand the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly.
Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus by Mo Willems
A sweet, simple and funny read, this book follows the pleading and wheedling of a pigeon wanting to drive a bus. Accompanied with award-winning artwork, this is a children’s book that will make you, the grown-up, laugh out loud as well.
Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale by Mo Willems
Another priceless gem from Mo’s pen, this book is an adorable and again, funny tale of a toddler’s trip the Laundromat and then, forgetting her precious bunny behind. Her sweet but gibberish-like attempts to explain to her confused father only leads to a meltdown. The book explores how tough it can be for both grown-ups and pre-verbal children to communicate in a light-hearted and sweetly sentimental way.
