Children’s Books Mother’s Should Read

As C.S Lewis said, “A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest.”

When you first come to the Charlotte Mason method you enter into a world steeped in literature. After years of analyzing text in school, annotating in the margins, and taking tests on specific details, even the most vivacious readers may find themselves turned off of reading. Coming back to a story may feel difficult and one of the best entry points into the world of words might be children’s literature. 
This list gathers thirty-two of stories written for children to middle grades for you to enjoy as a reader in your own right, whether your little ones are still toddlers or already curled up with chapter books of their own.

From The Wind in the Willows and Heidi to The Penderwicks and The Little White Horse, and they offer a grown woman the same delight and courage they offer a child.
