Classic childrens books 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.
