Today I will list (along with links and short annotations) some of the \u201ccollections\u201d that we have used with our \u201clittles.\u201d Some of these are spiritual in nature; some were used for Bible\/character reading for morning devotions (\u201cwhen you rise up\u201d); some were used for story time and other fun reading times. I am going to put all of them here, regardless of how\/when they were used, so all \u201ccollections\u201d are together. Happy reading!<\/span>

<\/span>

<\/span>
\u201dThe Bible in Pictures for Little Eyes\u201d\u2014one of our first Bible picture books; this book was one of the first story Bibles that I did with my little ones (after cardboard Bible stories, etc. for toddlers); I review it at the link given below\u2014it is worth searching for the original one\u2014the illustrations are so beautiful, not whimsical like the newer one: https:\/\/positiveparenting3-6-5.blogspot.com\/2010\/01\/day-thirty-two-start-young-with-bible.html<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLeading Little Ones to God\u201d\u2014catechism for kids! Great \u201ccollection devotional\u201d for young ones; introduces children to attributes of God, basic tenets of the faith, and more\u2014all at a preschool level: https:\/\/www.sonlight.com\/BB01.html<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnswers for Kids\u201d\u2014these little books are perfect creation science books for preschoolers; they are the children\u2019s counterpart to the \u201cAnswers Book\u201d for older kids and adults; colorful; answer questions that kids have about creation, the truth of Scripture, dinosaurs, Genesis, and more\u2019 even though this is not divided into \u201cdays\u201d like many of my \u201ccollections\u201d are, you can still do an entry a day, making it a perfect \u201ccollection\u201d for littles: <\/span>https:\/\/www.answersingenesis.org\/PublicStore\/product\/Answers-Book-for-Kids-Set-The-Volumes-1-amp-2,5728,184.aspx<\/a><\/span>

<\/span>

<\/span>

<\/span>
\u201cCase for Kids\u201d series\u2014these little books are the children\u2019s counterpart to Lee Strobel\u2019s \u201cCase for\u201d series for older kids and adults; while not as colorful or quite as \u201cpreschool\u201d as the \u201cAnswers,\u201d this series is great for answering tough questions about Scripture in a child-friendly way (more for ages six to twelve than preschool); each \u201centry\u201d is a question with its corresponding answer: <\/span>

<\/span>
\u201cOxford Illustrated Children\u2019s Book of American Poetry\u201d\u2014We have used this book when we are studying American history, reading a poem a day during morning reading; not all of the poems are necessarily \u201cchildren\u2019s poems,\u201d but they are illustrated and fun, for the most part: <\/span>
https:\/\/www.sonlight.com\/EA04.html?cat=1393<\/a><\/span>

<\/span>
\u201cTales of Beatrix Potter\u201d\u2014while individual stories are less cumbersome to hold (and not so heavy!) and often more elaborately illustrated, we have loved our children\u2019s \u201ccollection\u201d story books, such as these stories from the famous children\u2019s author; there are beautiful illustrations scattered here and there, as well as many tales, some of which are lesser known ones: https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Beatrix-Potter-Complete-Tales\/dp\/072325804X<\/a> <\/span>

<\/span>

<\/span>
\u201cUncle Arthur\u2019s Bedtime Stories\u201d\u2014one of my oldest \u201ccollections\u201d; we got these from a door-to-door salesman when Joshua (now 28) was a baby; these used to be found in doctors\u2019 waiting rooms everywhere; they are older type of character stories about children who did or did not display various character qualities; I recommend the original five-volume set\u2014the newer, shorter ones are not as well-illustrated and a little \u201cgirly\u201d looking with their pastel covers; while these are older stories, their topics are timeless\u2014honesty, obedience, kindness, trustworthiness, submission, respect; all of my kids have loved these (and it isn\u2019t uncommon for my adult kids to get them off the shelves and look through them when they are home!):<\/span>

<\/span>
\u201cCharacter Sketches\u201d\u2014the number one most age-spanning devotional that we have ever used; we started this with our four year olds and I still use it every week for our twelve and sixteen year olds; it is \u201cindividual entry\u201d if you do all of the animal one on one day (about 15 mins reading) and all of the Bible one on another day (again 15 mins reading); my review of it is given at the provided link: https:\/\/positiveparenting3-6-5.blogspot.com\/2010\/05\/day-136-character-sketches-review-faith.html<\/a> <\/span>

<\/span>
\u201cCloud of Witnesses\u201d\u2014this compilation of sixteen godly heroes is a biographical compilation written at a third or fourth grade level\u2014good for reading aloud to younger kids and for new and emerging readers to read for themselves; introduce your children to godly heroes such as Amy Carmichael, Billy Graham, Hudson Taylor, DL Moody, William and Catherine Boothe, and George Mueller, among others; this book was written by our now-missionary nurse daughter when she was sixteen years old: https:\/\/www.tfths.com\/<\/a> <\/span>

<\/span>
\u201cHero Tales\u201d\u2014this three volume compilation of godly heroes is also written at third or fourth grade level; hardcover, so a little pricier, but if you desire to read biographies \u201cmore often than not\u201d to your kids, you will want to get this collection: <\/span>

\u201cStories to Read Aloud\u201d and \u201cMore Stories to Read Aloud\u201d\u2014these collections of stories are amazing; selections from Shakespeare, Lewis Carroll, Mark Twain, Louisa May Alcott, Robert Frost, O Henry, and more\u2014specially arranged for children five and up\u2014but our teens love all of these stories! https:\/\/www0.epinions.com\/prices\/Classics_to_Read_Aloud_to_Your_Children_edited_by_William_F_Russell<\/a> <\/span>

Punctuation note: As the author of over forty language arts\/writing books, I know that titles of major works (books, etc.) should be in italics when they are typed\/keyed (and underlined when writing by hand) and that minor works (magazine articles, encyclopedia essays, etc.) are to be surrounded by quotation marks. In the blog, however, I generally put major works AND minor works in quotation marks because the blog seems to lose some of its formatting, including italics and underlines at times.<\/span>
