February Read Alouds
January’s read alouds received a number of reviews and even a comment (which doesn’t happen often!), so I’m back with a list of February read alouds filled with 29 picture books to celebrate important, wacky, sentimental, and silly holidays every day of the month!
I’m not taking all the credit, as the blog Growing Book by Book has a post just like this! I tried hard to either choose different holidays to highlight when I found something that could work or at the very least, provide some additional titles for you instead!
