Classic
Children Stories - Oldie but a Goody
Classic
children stories are simply those great books that passed the test of
time. Before reading them to her class, my friend Marla (an amazing
kindergarten teacher for the last thirty years) introduces them
as 'an oldie but a goody'. I used her help to compile the list
of books below. Stay tuned because this is only the beginning... the
list will continue to grow.
For a full list of my book recommendations please visit my book
store.
