Hi Kate, Please recommend 3- 4 titles for a precocious 4 1/2 year old for Nana to read to him over Zoom. He loves all things space, planes, animals but also a good story! Thanks so much! Kathy

Hi Kathy! For the space, planes, and animal-loving 4.5 year old, Kate recommends:

Blue Ridge Babies 1, 2, 3 by Laura Sperry Gardner (A counting book featuring animal babies of the Blue Ridge Mountains)

Tiny Little Rocket by Richard Collingridge (A great bedtime book that takes kids all around space and then back home)

Mousetronaut by Mark Kelly (The smallest mouse saves the day on a space mission. Written by a real astronaut!)

James' Reading Rescue by Dianna Wilson Sirkovsky (A boy who has trouble reading practices by reading to a cat at an animal shelter)

Fly by Nathan Clement (A step-by-step book about the process of taking a trip in a plane, from the perspective of a child traveler)

I hope he likes these! Let us know if you need any more recs - and if you're local, I highly recommend our Surprise Bag service :)
