dj3huty's "Books to read to children"

My suggestions for books to read to children from 5 to about 8 years old. At this age they are able to sit still and listen (with practise) but too young to read well themselves. Read them books which make them think, and teach them compassion…

I suggest fantasy, because it’s entertaining!
