We were on Fox 2 Detroit this morning talking about our book drive for Children’s Hospital during National Reading Month and we asked our friends on Facebook to share their favorite books for us to reference. The response was overwhelming and we had to share your favorites! From timeless classics to new finds, there are a lot of great books in this list. Read them with your littles and buy one to donate to kids who are spending time in the hospital.
We love hearing from our LittleGuide community so keep the feedback coming and let us know what you want to see on the site. Visit our contact page and send us your ideas.
