Glad you found the list helpful. I love "welcome books" (available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Scholastic). They have real photos and simple text, and are available about a huge variety of subjects. You are right about the reality/fantasy connection; kids do better with reality first and fantasy later. Hi, Angela! Glad you found the list helpful.

I wondered if you (or anyone else) knows where I could find a reading list of "reality" books for my 4-year old (stories I would read to her)? I have discovered the Montessori idea that 4 yr. olds have difficulty distinguishing between fact & fiction. My 4-year old has been fascinated with dragons since the Chinese New Year, and we've been reading a lot of dragon fiction (no pictures, just stories, not mean dragons, they're even nice!) ...but she has been having nightmares and trouble sleeping. I think the reality stories vs. fantasy might have something to do with it at this stage.
