Each page introduces the text with an essay, offers fantastic (and free!) online teaching resources, and gives an overview of both children’s adaptations and the various translations we offer. You can even compare passages from each translation side-by-side!

Preschool &

Kindergarten

Read-Aloud Favorites Preschool & kindergarten are formative years, so you should be careful with the books and media you expose to your children. We try here to focus on books that are aesthetically good—beautiful art, well-written prose, solid worldview (but still fun for the kiddos). This page is a VERY SMALL sampling of some of our favorites. (You’ll find plenty more in the following list) Remember when you’re reading aloud to read slowly, articulate clearly, and express enthusiastically!
