So many children are adjusting to a new reality right now. With my kids being out of school, we’ve been occupying ourselves at home with games, crafts, and books. With the kiddos home all day, I’ve found myself reading aloud to them a lot more than usual. My four-year-old is especially happy to sit on my lap while I read stacks of picture books to her. Reading the same books over and over can become tedious, but we’ve found several household favorites that never get old.
Whether you and your child need a laugh, a cuddle, or an escape from reality, these 10 books are clever enough to be enjoyed by both you and your children through multiple readings.

Taking your first jump off a diving board is a memorable right of passage for most children.
