Below is my collection beloved of children's books, read a loud for you by, yours truly.
Some of these books were my childhood favorites, and others I have discovered as an adult.
Regardless of when I found them, I love each one for its unique artwork and story telling.
I hope you enjoy them too!
With love, Miss Alys
