@BlondeHistorian My kids and I love anything by Sandra Boynton, but especially Dinosaur Dance, Barnyard Dance, and Personal Penguin. Silly stories, fun rhymes with bouncing rhythms. They’re very enjoyable to read out loud, and I never tire of them.

@KYT_ThatsME I loved Dread Nation by Justina Ireland. Alternative history fantasy, post-civil war Black woman protagonist who kills zombies. Dark but excellent, and the narration for the audiobook was excellent.
