My kids LOVE funny picture books. I read aloud 3 or 4 picture books to my kids everyday and I always try to make the last one be a funny one. This book is interesting, because my kids' tastes are usually pretty well-defined. They KNOW what they think is funny. This book however, my daughter read on ...

I'm pretty sure this is the only read aloud that made me laugh so hard I couldn't continue. Other books have made me laugh until I cried, but with this one, not only was I crying, but I literally couldn't get the words out.

The Prairie Thief is one of the best read alouds our family has ever heard. Maybe it was because we listened to the author, Melissa Wiley, read it to us live on social media, but everyone in our family loved it. Our toddler was mesmerized. My 10 year old even asked if I could buy the book after so ...
