I'm considering starting to read multiple books at a time so that I can have a rotation started and that way will give options for immediately helping with lessons in the meantime. Also, I will link to their public domain file so you can either find them there to read yourself, or read along, or whatever!
Some of these books I have physical copies and some I do not though I wish I did!
Here are a few that are on my immediate list:
This Country of Ours, H. E. Marshall 1876
An Island Story, H. E. Marshall 1876 , >> Here
The Little Duke, or Richard the Fearless, by Charlotte M. Younge 1823
Sing-Song: a nursery rhyme book by Christina Rossetti
Parables from Nature Vol. 1, by Mrs. Gatty
Parables from Nature Vol. 2, by Mrs. Gatty
The Cloud of Witness: A Daily Sequence, by Mrs. Lyttleton Gell
The Aesop for Children, by Milo Winter, >> Here
I've also been asking for your best suggestions for Public Domain books that I could read aloud on the podcast and I received a few great suggestions, here are the ones I've received so far...

If you have any book suggestions please send them our way!
God Bless,
Julie
