Animal-themed books are a favorite for kids of all ages. My upper elementary-aged kids still enjoy animal stories. But reading animal books to my little ones was always so much fun. With little ones, you can explore the wonder of what animals look like, what sounds they make, and where they live.
These animal themed read alouds will let you explore this interest in animals with your preschoolers. And you can check out the animal activities round up for ideas to go along with your read aloud time.
