Ever wonder what to bring to your Kindergarten read aloud?

I have. It can be tough knowing which books make the best books for Kindergarten read aloud.

Here I was, signed up as a mystery reader for my son’s Kindergarten class, and I was so nervous about which books to pick.

Will the Kindergarten class be bored? (gasp!)

Even worse, will I embarrass my son with the books I selected? (bigger gasp!)

Eek! I sat in the car, anticipating the opportunity to read aloud to my son’s Kindergarten class with sweaty palms and small jitters, hoping I picked the right best books for Kindergarten!

The good news?

It went so well! And coming out of it, I have a super fun collection of book titles for you to have in your back pocket that your Kindergarteners will enjoy.
