Ready for a bight & cheery book list?! To be honest, reading in general makes us smile. It’s the end of the day and we settle in for a book. It’s before nap and someone hops on your lap. When you’re reading to kids, you’re close by, snuggling up. Now that my older two can read, one of their “chores” is to read to their brothers. Many (many, many, many) moments of the day, I am breaking up wrestling or screaming matches between siblings. So when I see them sitting together reading, I definitely smile. Today we’re sharing a list of books that always make us smile and laugh. These books are colorful, funny and extra cheerful. It’s a combination of books I picked and my kids picked when I asked which books make them smile.
