Betsy wrote in an email recently, "...my girls and I love the Maple Hill Farm book, which I discovered on your blog. What were your kids' other favorite books as preschoolers? I'd love to hear your recommendations, and your kids', for good reading for little ones."
These are the first ten that came to mind. They are the ones I can probably read without looking at the pages, the ones requested night after night after day after day.
I hope you find a gem or two here, Betsy.
