Wonderful Read Aloud for 4-6 year olds

My girls have loved the whole lighthouse series as I've read them aloud to them. They have wonderful language and pictures! This is a great stepping stone to reading chapter books with your kids.

Fabulous family reading

My 8 year old son and I have enjoyed all of the Lightouse books. They are endearing, delightful and touching. The subject matter is light, family oriented and yet keeps my son's attention. He is enamoured of all the characters and I feel confident that he will return to these books many times.
