My favorite genealogy resources for children

Ok. As fast as it seems life is moving now, this is terribly old-fashioned of me, but I have a list of books for you. Sometimes I just feel like unplugging and cuddling up with a book.

Here are a few for you to cuddle with--with your favorite child. Maybe you can inspire a budding genealogist:
