You don’t have to resort to the same old books every night for story time. Entertain your kids and try something new.
Darin shares some of his favorite picture books for you to try.
The Perfect Picture Book: A great combination of creative pictures, a clever story and lots of opportunities to engage the listener and the reader
Heckedy Peg
Audrey Wood
The True Story of The 3 Little Pigs
Jon Scieszka
Try Out Your Voice: These are a couple of my favorites if you’re in the mood to try some “voices” or accents. Even if you’re bad at it, your kids will love the stories.
How I Became a Pirate
Melinda Long
The Sweetest Fig
Chris Van Allsburg
Silly and Fun: These are just plain fun, and there’s a good chance you will enjoy the books as much as the kids, maybe even more.
Piggie Pie
Margie Palatini
Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type
Doreen Cronin
Not A Lot of Words: These are mostly big, beautiful pictures with plenty of story to follow along. Pick out different things and the book is different each time.

Piggies
Audrey and Don Wood
Casual Conversation: These books have just enough text to get your conversation going. While there are words in the book, most of the conversation will come from you and the listeners.
