Readalouds of Laura’s Books

Educators and parents, looking for picture book readalouds? Here are a few! And don’t forget to look on the Laura’s Books page and check out individual book pages. Most of them have downloadable activity sheets, other videos, etc. (Some of these videos will disappear June 30, 2020, as they are only up now to help educators and parents during the pandemic.)
