50 Books recommended to read before kindergarten

According to education.com, these 50 titles are some of the best reading for kids entering kindergarten.

A reading list, for kindergarten?

Though they're not exactly required reading, these 50 books, both old and new, make a top-notch reading that young kinders shouldn't miss.

They run the gamut from read-alouds that parents can share to early reading practice, and deal with topical subjects (like fear of school), skills kids should master (such as the alphabet), and, of course, flat-out fun!

So hunker down and get reading!
