A Life In Review

occasionally funny, always a mess


Winter Reads for Kids

One year ago I wrote a post giving you great winter reads for adults. This year I decided that we needed the kids version. So I went through and found 20 books that had ratings 4 stars and above and I’ve included them all in the list you’ll find below.

I love to read themed books with my toddler. She had books in her room all year long, but in the living room, I change out the themes monthly or bi-monthly. That way there’s always something new and relevant to read. If you can’t afford to buy a whole library of books (it’s taken me 3 years to build ours up to where it is), the actual library is a great place to find these books.

So without further ado, I present: Winter Reads for Kids 2023
