Kindergarten Books for Reading Out Loud

My little daughter has just started kindergarten this year. As part of the program, she brings home a book every week together with a reading log sheet on which she’s required to write down the book information such as the book title, its author’s and illustrator’s names and draw anything she likes about the book. Below is the list of all the books she’s read. These are very good books, and several of them have been published and republished for 25+ or 50+ years such as The Very Hungry Caterpillar or Go Away, Big Green Monster!.

I’ve always wanted to do the same for my older daughter (who is in 6th grade now) but couldn’t. Now with this website, I have a way to do it, so I’m posting the list here for my keepsake to see how far the kid is grown academically and also sharing with you good books suitable for pre-K and K reading level.

These can also be great gifts for kindergarten kids, too, in case you don’t know what to buy for them for holidays or for their birthdays.
