My kids read and read and read...we love books, we think and talk about books all day. I will never criticize a book collection- so what if we have more than one book on one particular Saint right? If I am not paying tuition- I can buy books.
My kids learn how language works, and customs, and new vocabulary, and structure in books, learn how good triumphs over evil, in well written books. Most of all they come to know and love God (as well as us parents). Woe to those parents who don't read to their kids.

Some unusual Orthodox Saint books I have found in a used book store- I don't believe they are recognized by the Roman Catholic Church at this point, but I could be wrong. None the less, interesting books to read, stil very holy people.
A Boy, A kitchen, and his Cave
North Star, St. Herman of Alaska
Books we never get tired of for anytime.
The weight of a Mass
Take it to the Queen
We Have a Pope- maybe use on any Pope's feast day ;)
The Fisherman's Catch- Conservative lesson on stealing.
All four vollumes of Neumann Press Catholic Stories for Boys and Girls- I see them sold separately all the time on Ebay and Amazon. Supposedly they are in print again. My son loves these.
Christian Fables *(old Neumann Press) might be hard to find.. Excellent stories, By Michael J. Matt
Legends of Saints and Beasts- Ann Marie Jauss
Catholic Tales for Boys and Girls
More Catholic Tales for Boys and Girls
A Parable about the King
The Squire and the Scroll- good boys book 5 yo and up
The Princess Kiss- this is being saved for later.
A Childs book of Virtues- my 5 year old likes this one a lot
God's Wisdom for Little Boys
God Gave us You
Hooray! I'm Catholic- love love this!
Prayer for a Child
The Empty Pot- LOVE LOVE
This will be List #2 (that's for me to keep my books lists straight)
The Church Mouse of Saint Nicholas Another Neumann Press Book that might be hard to find.. but keep looking for it. I am saving it for later. For older kids. VERY LONG. DONT THINK YOU CAN READ THIS IN ONE DAY TO KIDS. Just a regular book for December really.
Little Rose of Sharon- will be added to the Easter list.. But my kids read it all the time
Lovely Lady Dressed in Blue- Good for Respect Life Month, longer, but my kids still liked it. Took three nights to read
Angel in the Waters- Respect Life Month
St. Patrick's Summer- Knox loves this book, we have been reading it slowly. Very big book for a 5 year old, definitely for older kids. Not a book that you can just read for St. Patrick's day. You'll need more than a week. Very long.
Catholic Children's Treasure Box Books 1- 20 MODG has them all over their lists. So might as well buy them now. Can order them from Holy Heroes. Watch for a sale or free shipping offers through Advent or Lent on Holy Heroes. Oh you will need to sign up for their emails ;)
A Picture of God 3 in 1 Good Trinity book
Angel Food for Boys and Girls- Old series has 6 volumes written by Fr. Brennan, old printing are out there. Old Series has different names for each of the six books too.
or you can buy the reprints from Neumann Press 1-4. They are individual books they chose to reprint, but they are out of order of the original 6. So you can mix and match the sets. Just research them a bit.
The Way Home A Princess Story Maybe a little scary (the lowlanders) for younger kids. But Genna loved it anyway.
Little Acts of Grace 1 and Little Acts of Grace 2
All Brian Wildsmith Books are awesome- there are quite a few! They are water colored.
Demi's Books. She has a lot of historical figures and a lot of tales with moral lessons. I assume most of them are all very good. Her books are longer so save them for when they are around 5. Here's just a few.
Creation type storiesNoah's Ark
All Creatures Great and Small- rich poems, Catholic in Nature, has gold leaf
Tomie DePaola collections
Book of Bible Stories
The Miracles of Jesus
Joy to the World
