Any recommendations for good living history read-alouds? My almost 6 year old is REALLY into history so I thought I might order a few for Christmas.

Thanks in advance,

Really, any of these. He is just a beginner reader so most likely they would all be read-alouds. Some great picture book recommendations would be nice or chapter books on the shorter side.

Thanks, Mary.
