I must say, I just got out the Little House books to read aloud to DS4 and am not feeling very inspired to "do" them again. The racism is pretty bad, and Pa is sort of a lunatic IMO. I guess once was enough to revisit my childhood nostalgia. I'll see if DS asks for more, I guess. I need to refresh my memory on good chapter book readalouds for 4yos...he's probably not ready for really advanced stuff yet. We did My Father's Dragon and that was a smash hit.


I loved listening to James and the Giant Peach and The Secret Garden from my first grade teacher.
