[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do most of parents here buy the books or borrow books from library to read to your kids? My son is not interested in reading, but we have a small collection of books that I have purchased over time. He is not interested in going to library, and I have problem to keep track of returning the books (because I completely forget & most of time they leave untouched at the corners). [/quote]

We're frequent fliers at the library, but I don't think that you [i]have[/i] to be. That said, at least FCPL has all the BOB books and a bunch of I Like to Read with various guided reading levels attached, which I find helpful. You can also search the FCPL catalogue by lexile level (which isn't super helpful at the early stage in my opinion because lexile levels don't correlate to how my kindergartener is learning to read nearly as well as guided reading levels, but whatever), or Advance Reader level, which I know next to nothing about. I like using the library where possible for this stage because the books have such a short useful life in our house. My kid might read and re-read Charlotte's Web or Matilda, but she's not going to want to re-read Paul Meisel's See Me Dig in another six months, let alone another few years.

Here's a smattering (besides BOB books) of kindergarten level books we've gotten at the library:

* See Me Run, Paul Meisel
* See Me Dig, Paul Meisel
* See Me Play, Paul Meisel
* Big Cat, Ethan Long
* Jump, David McPhail
* The Otto series by David Milgrim
* Up by Joe Cepeda
* I See by Joe Cepeda
* I Like My Car by Michael Robertson
* Pig Has a Plan by Ethan Long
* Mice on Ice by Rebecca Emberly
* Pug by Ethan Long
* Cat Got a Lot by Steve Henry

A little harder books available at the library would be the Noodles series, the Puppy Mudge series, Nola Buck's Oh Cats! or Sid and Sam, the Biscuit books (only the originals are really all that easy, the rest are like Fancy Nancy books - lumped in with easy beginning readers because of the age appeal rather than the actual ease of reading)
