I've got a brand-new baby granddaughter coming this fall and you've given me a lot of great book ideas for her. When my daughters were little, I remember that reading and spending time in nature was all we did. My youngest daughter is sixteen and we still sit on the porch reading poetry sometimes. Great list!
