The American Girl Samantha book, set in the Victorian Era.
I think the last book I read to the kids was “A Treasury of Children’s Literature.”
An old but lovely classic “Black Beauty”
We read If you Give a Moose a muffin.
Beauty and the beast – castles are so mysterious!
As an aside, I discovered your book set when I spotted the first title in the series – “If You Were Me and Lived in Scotland”. My Mom’s from Scotland so it would be amazing for her to read this book to my youngest! I would have the privilege of reading the remaining titles!
We read Make a Wish, Midas set in Greece.
We read Madeleine.
We read Jack the Castaway and it was set in the Caribbean.
Cinderella
We read my childhood Hallmark pop-up book version of Snow White. It was set in a very far land in the woods.
Madeline and it was set in Paris!
Adventures of Pajama Girl. Thank you
Beauty and the beast
