    Picture the scene.

    You have just finished reading a wonderful novel to your kids. You laughed, you cried, you snuggled, and had quality family time. (Of course you found this book on one of my book lists, right?)

    But now. What to read next? How will you find an equally good book that everyone will like?

    I have the perfect solution.

    Look at the calendar.

    Your next fabulous read aloud will be determined by the season. And you will pick it from one of our seasonal family read aloud book lists.

    Problem solved.

      THANK YOU SO MUCH for your lists, synopsis, and thoughts! We have just started chapter book read alouds and I'll admit I was lost! I had no idea where to start. Our house is overflowing with picture books (which we still love) but we were ready for the next stage. THANK YOU!!!
