This month was a hard month to find books! I am still working on it but wanted to post what I had. I hope you are able to steal away some time with your children to read with them. It’s such a special way to help them learn and also feel your love. I cherish the time I have to read with my children, and boy oh boy they milk that for all it’s worth! But I eat it up as well because how many times during the day can you get little boys to sit still and quietly listen? It’s so precious. That being said, here it is:
George Washington: a Life os Self-Discipline by Anne Todd
1-2-3 Magic for Kids: Helping Your Children Understand the New Rules by Thomas W. Phelan

“Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns Too Much of a Good Thing is Bad,” by Howard Binkow & Susan F. Cornelison. It’s perfect for teaching this value, and it even has a little discussion at the end that you can read/have with your children about discipline and moderation.
Bear Wants More by Karma Wilson
the story of Pooh bear getting caught in Rabbit’s doorway in the original Winnie the Pooh stories by AA Milne (I don’t think we’ll ever tire of that collection!)
The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter
The Further Tale of Peter Rabbit by Emma Thompson
The Spectacular Tale of Peter Rabbit by Emma Thompson
The Cloud Spinner by Michael Catchpool (this book, for the writing and illustrations, are an all-time family favorite)
