Swan-Like I Glide.... a chapter or two a day...

Just popping in a quick post on some of my favorite read-aloud chapter books~ 

These make excellent "Reader" gifts if you are looking to add quality children's literature to your home library or to a friend's home library. 

(Note: I am linking to a variety of paperback and kindle versions, depending on my preference and/or availability for a particular title, and there are titles that span a number of ages, for family reading time)

      

• Charlotte's Web (Nostalgic for *me* as I remember my 1st/2nd grade teacher reading this aloud in school) and
• The Trumpet of the Swan(One of my olders' favorites) by E. B. White
• Or you can just go for the whole E. B. White Box Set :) 
• Swallows and Amazons by Arthur Ransom

        

• Mr. Popper's Penguins by Richard and Florence Atwater
• Miracles on Maple Hill by Virginia Sorensen
• Homer Priceby Robert McCloskey

      

• The Cricket in Times Square by George Selden
• The Saturdays by Elizabeth Enright
• Freddy The Detectiveby Walter R. Brooks

     

• A Bear Called Paddington and other Paddington books by Michael Bond
• Viking Quest Series series by Lois Walfrid Johnson (You may get tired of my recommending these books... just go get them already!) 
• The Penderwicks: A Summer Tale of Four Sisters, Two Rabbits, and a Very Interesting Boy by Jeanne Birdsall

       
• The Pushcart War by Jean Merrill
• The Burgess Bird Book For Children Animal book, Seashore  book, etc... these are GREAT! 
• Redwallby Brian Jacques

I hope you find something new and interesting for your school-year or lazy days of summer reading times! 

Blessings~
