Teach Your Children Well: Books to read to First Graders/ Audiobooks for First Graders

This list is a continuation from my BOOKS TO READ TO KINDERGARTENERS, so I am not going to go into a lot of discussion--click back there if you are interested in more details! I'll go straight into the booklist of recommended titles for first graders. Yikes!! How do I have a first grader! I will need to note that first grade was my favorite grade to teach in my public school days, so everything first-grade-related is so very sweet in my heart!

I will update and add to this list as Q's first grade year goes on, so this is just the start of our list! Stay tuned!

And now the books!!

The Oz Series by L. Frank Baum

(note--Q has listened to the Wizard of Oz and this book in the series, but I am going to wait a bit more before really getting into the series. With some classic, beautiful series', I want to wait a little longer until she is old enough to fully appreciate and remember them. Just a "thing" I have.)
