In case you haven't heard, my family will be reading 100 books this summer! And guess what yesterday we challenged you and your family join us. (Click here for more deets!) It's no secret that my kids and I love to read, but we want to help other families to love or at least embrace reading as well. With some help from Moo, I was able to put together a list of 100 popular children's books that you can read with your kids this summer.
