Preschool - Book List

I compiled this list from a variety of sources.  My goal is to get a few of these from the library each week and try to get at least one from each topic (math, art, etc.).  It's amazing to me how entranced my kids are by these classic read-aloud kids' books.  I'll continue to edit this list as I find more or find I don't like one on the list.  Feel free to suggest any I don't have on here!
