I don’t know about you, but the public library has been operating a little differently in our neck of the woods. I love taking the kids to check out their own books but it just hasn’t seemed very practical and well, germs. SO – we’ve done a lot of book watching and they’ve really loved it. Shout out to all the animated-mom readers out there because doing character voices is not my sweet spot…but hearing these narrators online is super fun; five stars – four thumbs up – highly recommend. So, here are some fun and festive books to get you through the winter chill (read alouds are linked below each image and mom hack, if you have a smart tv, just cast it onto the big screen for the full experience). If you have any other fan favorites, be sure to drop titles in the comments section so we can all grow our list. Happy reading!
