Themed Unit Studies

The Best Children’s Book Lists

Books are a huge part of family life, and it is important to read together every day. One of the best things about homeschooling is having time to read and share books you love, and piling up on the couch to read together. Having access to a themed list of the best children’s books makes planning a unit study super easy. Most importantly, book lists help make library trips efficient and productive.

How to Use These Lists

It is a planning dream to have a list of themed ideas for unit studies for spontaneous light bulb moments!

The themes are listed below, along with a calendar of planned lists to share with you in the future. Each Wednesday,  the list updates with a new category in the weekly series.

Be sure to check out the Learning Table shop for free printables and activities to go along with many of the themes. Click here to see what’s available!

Themed Lists of the Best Children’s Books

Book themes are listed alphabetically and include current and future articles. Therefore, simply click on the theme name to visit the corresponding article.
