100 Best Children's Books


If you have read any of my blog posts, you know that Greyson loves books!    I am always looking for a variety of books when we visit the library.  I came across this post and since I L-O-V-E lists so much, I decided it would be fun to see how many we could read.   I set up a book bin where I started to gather the books.  I made a chart, got some stickers and put it with the bin.  When we pull one of these out to read, Greyson marks it with a sticker and we'll just keep track of how many we read.  

There is no pressure for us to read them all in a certain amount of time and we may not even read them ALL.  This is just a fun way for us to re-read some of the books that we have on the shelf and haven't pulled out in a while.  It's also a great way for me to pick out NEW books for us to discover when we visit the library.   I'm sure there are some that we will read over and over and some that Greyson will not be as interested in.   And that's okay!  

Here's a section of what the sticker chart looks like:

  1. I love the stickers and charts. Would you have a templete on how you did this or some kind of instructions for the computer challenged?
    Thanks,

    1. Hey Michelle! I'd be happy to send it to you - it's just an excel document. Shoot me an email and I'll send it right over. delaneyla at gmail.com
