K indergar ten Classic Pic ture Book s Reading and Resource List
Snuggling up to read with a small child is truly one of life’s simple pleasures. Exploring a world full of adventure, kindness, courage, and truth broadens her understanding of life itself.
As a former elementary school teacher and ardent picture book lover, I already had a large collection of picture books when I was ready to begin homeschooling my daughter, Caroline. But I knew there were many other books out there I didn’t want us to miss. I began researching reading lists from books, authors and organizations I considered trustworthy. This document is the result of that quest.
The resources I utilized included:· Ambleside Online Year 0 Reading List· Hillsdale Academy Kindergarten Read Aloud List· Sonlight.com· The Educated Child: A Parent’s Guide from Preschool Through Eighth Grade, William J. Bennett (The Educated Child: A Parent’s Guide from Preschool Through Eighth Grade)· The Read-Aloud Handbook, Tim Trelease (The Read-Aloud Handbook)
While this is not an exhaustive list of books, it will provide an excellent starting point for reading a wide variety of quality picture books during the kindergarten year.
Where possible, links to lapbooks, blog posts, and extension activities have been included. I have also included links directly to Amazon to make it easy to research the books. Some books were not on Amazon, but might be available through your local library or through another service such as Alibris, ebay, half.com or other local used bookseller.
All books should be reviewed to determine if they meet your family’s guidelines for quality reading. There are books on the list I have not read and there are books on the list that I personally don’t like. But I wanted to provide a variety of ideas because families and children are all quite different in terms of what they enjoy. So please do not consider the inclusion of a book or link in this document an endorsement of everything there.
Enjoy!

Praise for My Fun Fact Cards!
“After 1-1/2 months with a ‘fact of the day,’ my students are hooked. It’s fun to start our days with an ‘Oooh’ or ‘Wow’ about things we take for granted like apples or pumpkins. It’s also amusing to hear them inform everyone with whom we come into contact what they’ve learned. What a great idea and thanks for all the background research!”
“My class cheered when I told them I bought this November set – they enjoyed the apple/September theme and are liking the current pumpkin/October set too!”
