Children's Book Week!

It's National Children's Book Week! It's no secret that those that reside in our house love books. You can't enter a room in our house without finding a bookshelf that is overloaded. Admittedly, we even have tubs of books sorted by genre and reading level in the girls' closet just waiting for their pages to be turned. While some girls make-believe they are doctors or vets, it's not uncommon to find my girls playing librarian (just check this out). This pleases me to no end. I love that my children love to read for so many reasons. It opens the world to them, it stimulates their imagination, and my favorite, it ensures that each night I will have at least 15 minutes of time snuggled up on the couch with my four favorite people. If you are looking for a good book this week, check out a few of our favorites listed below. In the meantime, what are your favorite books you remember reading as a child that you read/will read to your children?
