I love the power of a good picture book. Great words and beautiful illustrations can be so much more powerful than a lot of words. There are so many excellent picture books about nature out there and today I wanted to share some of our favorites with you!

Book Lists Broken Down By Grade!
I have been writing book lists here on this site for over three years now and it’s about time I had a place where you could come and see the lists broken down by grade! I’ll do my best to keep this list updates, so feel free to pin this page and check back regularly. (Now, next up on my to do list is to create a page listing every single book list on this site, wish me luck!) Oh, also, I hope to have a book list extravaganza here on the blog real soon where I share a book list a day for a week or two, if you…
10 More Middle Grade Novels Even Adults Will Love
I really enjoy a well written middle grade book. I do think there are some middle grade books that just appeal to middle graders, some that just appeal to adults and then those in the sweet spot that both categories enjoy. The books in this list fall in that sweet spot. I have read and enjoyed each of these and my kids have enjoyed all the ones on this list they’ve read and I’m pretty sure they’ll enjoy the ones they haven’t yet. A few years ago I wrote a post sharing eight middle grade books that I really enjoy as an adult and now today I’ve got ten more!…
12 Great Chapter Books for Grade Two
This year my son is in grade two, so I wanted to create a list of books for him to read this year. He is at the point where he is just starting to read easy chapter books but I know at this rate he’ll really increase his reading ability this next year. So, I wanted to create a list of books for grade two that would have some diversity. There are definitely some easy to read books on here as well as some that are a bit harder. Oh, and because I know my son I’ve also included some funny books, because those are his favorite. 12…
17 Great Chapter Books for Grade Five
One thing I love to do for our school year planning is create a list of books that I think will be good for my kids for that school year. This year my daughter is going into grade five! Where did the time go? This list of books includes some books she wants to read on her own, some I think she would enjoy and a few that we will be reading aloud (or listening to on audio) as a family. Her favorite genre is fantasy by far so this list is pretty fantasy heavy. I plan on making a master list/page here soon that has all the grade level book…
12 Books on Our List for Family Read Alouds This Year
With a new school year approaching I wanted to compile a list of books for family read alouds. For us the term family read aloud mostly means family audiobooks since we still mostly just listen to a book together as a family at meal times. But, I think some of the books on my list for this year don’t have audiobooks, so maybe this will be the year that I finally learn how to read chapter books aloud (if you have tips, let me know! I think my biggest problem is that I am reading ahead in my head way further than where my voice is). We’ve actually gotten a head start…
