TT - Top Ten Favourite Read Alouds

 Welcome to Tuesdays Treasures.  I started these posts as a way of sharing great books in honour of my friend in New Zealand who would arrive with the treasures she had unearthed at her weekly trip to the library!

There are so many wonderful books out there hiding on shelves so I invite you to blog about a book on your shelf, one you're reading or one you found at the library and add your post to Learning All the Time Favourite Resource Link Up .



This weeks topic is inspired by 10* in 10* (Ten Weeks of Top Ten Lists) over at iHomeschool and hosted at Many Little Blessings.

    1. Oh wow. I ♥ your Top Ten list of books. What an excellent idea to make three lists covering three age groups in your top ten.

      You are welcome :)

  4. You have some great books on your list, especially Little Britches. That is a family fav for everyone in our family. Witch of Blackbird Pond, Carry On Mr Bowditch & Johnny Tremain round out that time period.

    1. I agree Kerry. Johnny Tremain rates right up there with those but alas I had to limit myself to 10 so it was these.

      I think in hindsight I should have made a few catagories like
      for teens
      for history
      for biology

      etc.

      PS I LOVED Johnny Tremain. Excellent book

  5. Great list, Chareen! The Little Princess is one of my favorites for sure:) I see a lot of good titles here that I need to add to our list of must read books. Thanks for sharing!

  6. Oh, yes! Yes!
    I don't know what my numbers 2-10 would be, but my no 1 is definitely Little Britches (and the whole series). Wonderful, wonderful books. My absolute favourites! Wonderful!
