Our Preschool Spring Reading List

Spring is finally upon us and I am so excited for warmer weather, bright flowers, and even the rain that comes during this season. This month I decided to share some awesome spring themed books that we will be reading with our preschoolers. Our oldest loved these books when he was younger so I cannot wait to introduce them to our youngest homeschool students.
