I love this! Thank you so much for the list. I am trying to get back into having a little “preschool” time with my almost 5 year old while his brother is at school. You list got me the books to check out an themes to focus on. It’s going to be great. Thank again!
Thank you so much for your monthly book lists. I am able to put them on hold at the library, which is very convenient. Thank you!
Thank you Amy! This is just what we need to keep our sanity during these dark cold months. A dozen of these books are now on hold for us at our library. Awesome!
Yay! I just love filling up my hold list at the library… Happy Reading!
As a mother with 7 grown children and presently a Nanny I’m always on the lookout for simple, fun ideas. These are fantastic and won’t break the bank AND will create some fun memories. Thank you so much for sharing your clever ideas!
