Hand that Rocks the Cradle: Good Books to Read Aloud to Children

Hand that Rocks the Cradle: Good Books to Read Aloud to Children
By Nathaniel Bluedorn

We began building a library for our boys well before they could read. As we began one of the best resources we had was this little booklet, in which Bluedorn has listed books his parents read to him and his siblings as they were homeschooled. He lists over 400 books, grouped according to three reading levels (easy, difficult, advanced), and most books have a brief annotation. It is a great resource as you go along looking for books. I kept this booklet with me in Scotland so I would know what to look for when I had a chance to step into the used bookshops. The booklet is published by the Bluedorn’s family business Trivium Pursuit.
