My family has a tradition of reading at least one book out loud every holiday season despite all of us children being in our 20s and 30s. Here are some books that are great to read out loud
We all know those kids, the ones who once you finish reading a book want it read again . . . and again . . . and again. Well, Cedric the dragon is no different, and his mom changes the story a little bit each time through to keep it interesting.

I developed a love for this book after having my uncle read it a couple years ago--in a Cajun accent. The traditional story, with a Cajun twist.

Charlie is a typical basset hound, except that he lives on a ranch. The illustrations are colorful and eye-catching. Can you find the chipmunk on each page?

I love Hippos. In fact one of my favorite Christmas songs is "I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas". So what happens when a Hippo gets the hiccups? His friends try EVERYTHING to get rid of them.

This is one of my all-time favorite books. Everyone is different, and this little girl is so proud of who she is, no matter what. A great read-a -loud with a great message.

I love strawberries, and, when I was little, I had a stuffed mouse (okay, I still have him), which might explain my love of this book. The little mouse is determined to eat a strawberry, even with the big, hungry bear wanting it, too.

I love silly stories, and this is probably one of the silliest that I've read in a long time. These dust bunnies love to rhyme, but one of them just won't! Instead, he focuses on all the dangers around them (like brooms).

This is by far my favorite Jan Brett book. The mountain trolls have spotted the dog, and they WANT him. But Treva is unwilling to give up her dog and distracts them until she reaches the top.
