It's hard to believe but my baby starts Kindergarten
in only five days!
I've been trying to prep him as best I can and the first place I started was reading. I picked up the below list from my local library's children services. We haven't read them all yet, but we made a good dent and added many of our own favorites. What additional books do you think should be added? I personally love The Ravenous Beast by Niamh Sharkey!
