Recently, a mother asked me to recommend some books for her 1st grade son. After sharing them with her, I thought I would share them with all of you as well. It is important to get our children reading at an early age. We all know that! Sometimes, it is harder to get our boys to read at this age because they are always on the move. Getting them the right books that will captivate their attention is important! Here are just a few that I thought of quickly. Feel free to add your own recommendations in a comment!
Frog and Toad by Arnold Lobel
Billy and Blaze by CW Anderson
Make Way for the Ducklings by Robert McCloskey
The Five Chinese Brothers by Claire Huchet Bishop
The Fire Cat by Esther Averill
Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel by Virginia Lee Burton
Cowboy Sam and Big Bill by Edna Walker Chandler
Flip by Wesley Dennis
Andy and the Lion by James Daugherty
Indian Two Feet and His Eagle Feather by Margaret Friskey
Dan Frontier by William Hurley (These books are out of print, as far as I know, and would need to be found at the library.)
Many of these books are books within a series. For instance, Billy and Blaze by CW Anderson is only one of many books about Billy and Blaze. Again, feel free to recommend others in the comments below. These are only a very few of what is out there! Happy Reading!
