I’m a little behind this month, but I’ve been enjoying these monthly book lists so much and I finally got May’s list pulled together! This list combines not only great fictional read alouds, but some nonfiction and biographies as well to teach kids about fun and interesting facts and people.
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!
