Thanks for visiting!

I homeschooled our three children for fifteen years. For most of that time we visited the library faithfully and used a laundry basket to carry our books back every two weeks. I am still reading out loud to the family, especially on trips, so the books on my shelf range from board books to what I am personally reading today to our twenty-something young adults. Because we read so many good books, I wanted to share with you the ones that stand out in my memory that we enjoyed which were also well written and/or illustrated.

I want to encourage children, teens, and parents to enjoy reading; to read for fun and to read together.

If you would, please recommend fiction and nonfiction books for their authorship and/or illustrations. I also recommend the many books by DK Publishing, Eyewitness Books, and Usborne Books. « less
