Spring is in full swing around my house. The surrounding nature is lush and green. The birds are singing. The precious, little, cotton-tail bunnies are making more appearances.

And the allergies are quite strong.

Yes, we are definitely knee-deep in spring. 🙂 

Well, let’s continue our celebration of this truly bright season with a list of children’s books to read with your family during April. 

 

Happy reading!

Bravo, Little Bird! by Annie Silvestro

 

I just so happen to read this story for the first time a few weeks ago. With a beautifully singing bird, this is such an appropriate book for April. It does tackle the rather difficult topic of loss, and, I must say, the author addresses this so very well. 

 

The Horseback Librarians by Jane Yolen

I included this book because April 16th is National Librarian Day. What a cool story that shares how librarians rode horseback to deliver books in Appalachia during the Great Depression. That’s dedication!

 

 

Worm Weather by Jean Taft

This is just such a cute book. How lovely to romp and play and think of a season as one experience after the next! The illustrations will definitely keep the attention of both young and less young readers. 🙂

Home for a Bunny by Margaret Wise Brown

I had to include this beautiful classic. This story is a wonderful celebration of spring and includes absolutely stunning illustrations. I always feel warmer after reading it.
