chubbacoo, why not try the Narnia series? This is where we started (my son was 3) and there are plenty of editions that actually have amazing illustrations to help drive the story for you. You can also check it out on cd from the library for the days when you need another reader to take over for you.

Charlotte’s web would be another good one.

I have been choosing chapter books that have been made into films . . . you can read and then have a movie night!

Enjoy!

I’ve been looking for some short chapter books to read to my 3 yr old and 4 yr old. I’d love to hear some suggestions!

Love these hints! They take me back to those wonderful years of reading to little ones. My 16yo and 18yo are *still* always up for a good read aloud!

These are some great hints. I love reading to my children, we have such a good time. We have not done it as much with long books though since we have had the baby (but she is one now), because she is so busy. She won’t cuddle – she loves to squirm. But she plays happily in her playpen now for longer stretches so this gives me some inspiration to start whipping out some of the longer books again for the older children.

Reading has such a special place in my heart I have written a couple of blog posts on it. Check out my post on instilling the reading habit in your children if you’re interested (click my name for a direct link).
