The Books We Read in 2020 SHARE
The Wall Street Journal asked people of some prominence to name the best books they read in 2020. So I asked my colleagues. Honestly, I like this list better. Of course, we all recommend the books Cato published this year. But we read more widely, and here are some of our favorites:
The Little House By Virginia Lee Burton - This children s story tracks our heroine a well-built, 19th-century country home enjoying the stars at night and the changing seasons as modern urban life creeps closer, surrounds her, and takes her land, her enjoyment of nature, and everything else.

Perfect for ages 1-9.
