August Favorites

 I've mentioned this before, but every month, I put 30-40 picture books on hold at the library (mixed in with early readers + a few chapter books!). We love having a variety of read-alouds for the month. I don't worry so much about themes for the month as I do about finding books that my children will love to listen to. Every month, I also order one Catholic picture book to add to our Creative Catholic Library (since I usually cannot find these at the library). I make an effort to read these picture books to my children on Sundays.

There are always about 10 books that become our repeat reads for the month. Here are our favorites from August!
