Pre-K Reading 4/1/2026 – What’s in My Bag?
My book bag is getting very heavy these days because each child in the class has developed their own taste and appetite for books. This is a great problem to have because these preferences will inspire them to keep seeking out the types of books they love and reading them. Also, an amazing thing happened today!

LATEST BOOK REVIEW
Thingy Things
I’m a huge fan of the Thingy Things series of books by Chris Raschka. I love all the books in this series. Because each book is so short, they work better as a group than individually. There are 10 books in this series. I have my favorite five in my personal library but I recommend them all.
BENEFITS
Much has been written about the benefits of reading with children. The list includes: helping the young mind develop, improving vocabulary, helping children learn to read, and deepening the bond between caregiver and child. In my opinion the biggest reason to promote reading is because it opens up a whole new world of information, history, and perspective that children may not get anywhere else. In today’s world of harmful social media, short attention span entertainment, and violent movies and video games, it’s never been more important to give our little people positive alternatives.
CREATE
If you want to create a little library for yourself and your family, we have some ideas for you!
GET INVOLVED
There are many ways to promote reading, books, and libraries for the young people in our lives and in our communities. These ideas include bringing our loved ones to the library and/or creating a little library for them at home, supporting our local Little Free Libraries, and becoming a volunteer reader in your community.
RESOURCES
These are some of the books that I have in my own little library. Each book is special in its own way and I will explain why. Also, I provide book suggestions for specific age ranges and situations.
