How Rocket Learned to Read book cover

How Rocket Learned to Read

Miss Merriweather the librarian has a lot of rules, and everyone has to follow them. But “one day a lion came to the library,” and Miss Merriweather isn’t so sure he should be allowed to stay.

Mr. George Baker book cover

Once Upon a Time book cover

Ron’s Big Mission
by Rose Blue and Corinne Naden

An excellent list of books! I was excited to see a unique list. We have only read two of these. All titles on the main list are available through our local library system and are now on hold for us! wheeeee There were only two in the reader recommended list that were not available. So, that’s pretty awesome! Thanks again for posting this great list. I’m excited.

It’s hard for me to believe, but we’ve only read one of these books! We’ll have to look them up at the library.

Gale

Wonderful reading list! One that belongs on this list that’s missing is “The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore”. Our community elects two books (one adult and one children’s book) to read as a city each year and that was one. It’s just a beautiful, touching book about reading and life…with fantastic whimsical illustrations.

Thank you for the addition recommendation, Gale! This one sounds lovely.
