BOOKS TO READ ALOUD

My Friend Gorilla

NOTE: This book and many other children's books can be borrowed from the Internet Archives. You register for free and there are lots of kids books available.

In general I would recommend downloading the PDF files as opposed to the EPUB files because the PDF files are proper scans, usually of good quality, while the EPUB versions are adapted from the scans and are often full of errors.
