“Told in stories, this is an ideal book to read aloud at bedtime for kids who are perhaps reluctant to commit to bigger novels.”

I recommend clicking through as it’s a very handy list of books. There are 2 from the d’Aulaires, a James Herriott(!), and I’d definitely recommend some of the graphic novels such as Cece Bell’s El Deafo among others. I’m very happy to see The Serial Garden still finding new readers.
