The Complete Tales of Winnie-the-Pooh by A. A. Milne

Includes both books Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner (used in Core K).  This book has beautiful full-color illustrations, making it even more fun to read aloud.  I know a lot of people have difficulty reading this rolling type writing aloud, but I find it fun and interesting.  It helps to at least try to do the voices, with a Pooh type voice for Pooh, a regular for C. R.,  breathlessly fast voice for Piglet, a strict voice for rabbit, and so forth.  I actually find reading it fun, after I get the hang of the voices.

Small Bear Lost by Martin Waddell and Virginia Austin

A teddy bear gets left behind on a trip.  He gets worried that he will be lost forever, and tries to find his own way home, which leads him on an interesting adventure.
