Do you remember the classic books from your childhood? Have you thought about reading them again or reading them with your kids now? Why not download a classic to read together with your children. Bring back some favorite childhood memories that you can share.
While sitting and reading aloud with my son, I find myself overwhelmed with anticipation for him to hurry up and turn the page already!… because I either remember what was on the next page, or I completely forgot and was happily surprised, or in some cases temporarily saddened.
The titles on this list are available on the CCLD Digital Library in e-book format (I checked to make sure!). Just Search it, Click it, Download it and of course enjoy a great children’s literary classic to share with you kids and rejoice in your own youthful memory of reading as a child!!
