I thought it would be fun to periodically share our library hauls with you! I collect book ideas from all over the place (some I just choose topics I love, some are from accounts I follow, some are for curricula I've made or that we are doing that others have created, some I just have read before and want to read again, etc.). I usually get a ton of books and we read them over 3 or so weeks - 2-3 most days over stories after my baby's nap time and my daughters' quiet time (and my work time). My kids are 10 months, 5, 8, and 10, and they all still love picture books!
Here are all the books! I'm sharing them as Amazon affiliate links for ease of finding them, but I recommend you install this Amazon Library Extension to your browser so you can see right on the Amazon page if the book is in stock in your library or surrounding libraries. Our library is connected to a system of dozens of libraries in our region, and they share books with one another. This helps us have access to so many more books than we could find in our library closest to us.
