Hi Friends!
Happy Spring! In this video I share another of my "read-a-book-by-the-decade" lists. All books have a springtime theme or feel, and I have one from each decade from 1900 to the present, as well as one from the 1800s or earlier (in this case it is much, much earlier!) 

All children's chapter books, all illustrated!
