April starts on Monday and I’m getting this book list out with just a few days to spare! I’ve pulled together a list of daily holidays in April combined with a great read aloud picture book that fits the theme. You don’t have to read these in any specific order if you don’t want to, but they do provide a great way to get more reading into your daily schedule.
I’m not taking all the credit, as the blog Growing Book by Book has a post just like this! I tried hard to either choose different holidays to highlight when I found something that could work or at the very least, provide some additional titles for you instead!
