Advik has become a huge fan of Julia Donaldson and Eric Carle books. Though he has not moved to independent reading yet, he selected all the books for this book bingo and narrated the reviews.
Thanks to KBC we read a lot of books in the past few days and could ultimately make the final list for the thirty books.
This journey of 30 books was not only fun but extremely enriching for us. Most of these books can be enjoyed by 2 to 5 year olds.
