Note to Parents: These titles were chosen by the Youth Services Librarians of the Dauphin County Library System for their appeal to the interest level of this age group. Stories to Share are best read aloud to your child—the finest way to promote a love of reading, build vocabulary and assure your child’s future reading success. Stories for Early Readers are titles that may be appropriate for your beginning reader—however, keep in mind that a title too difficult to read independently will still be enjoyed as you read it to him/her. lm 2-2014
