This year we've decided to show you all the books we've read with the boys. They are now 4 and 6 (in a few days) and they both love to be read to. We read chapter books with them more and more and thought it would be interesting to add our selection for you. We also read picture books, especially with the 4 year old, but we've decided to stick to chapter books for this post. Every time we finish a book in 2018 it will be added here (affiliate links). I am adding the boys ratings with their opinion of the best bits and the lows - and be warned, they are extremely critical! Enjoy, and if you have any great suggestions, please let us know in the comments below or over on Facebook.
