I really like the reviews you left for those children’s books and how you pointed out which aspects were intended to train specific skills and abilities for kids. My favorite children’s book when I was growing up was “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie”. It was just really entertaining and fun to engage with.
Thanks for sharing Chase! I’ll keep that book in mind for future read-aloud stories.
