Participants on our HomeschoolChristian.com message boards recommend these books. As always, you should peruse the book first to make sure it agrees with your family's beliefs and standards. Most of these books may be found at your public library, but if you would like to buy them, please use our links for Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Alibris, or Christian Book Distributors, and help support our site.
Some of these may be best as read-alouds depending upon your child's ability.
