5 books actress and attachment parenting advocate Mayim Bialik reads to her kids

"Big Bang Theory" star, neuroscientist, and author of "Beyond the Sling: A Real-Life Guide to Raising Confident, Loving Children the Attachment Parenting Way" Mayim Bialik restricts her kids' access to technology and TV - and instead encourages her kids to play outside in the yard, build with LEGOs, and read.

So what does the mother of two think are the best books to read with your kids?

As part of its Storybook Project, NPR asked a number of authors, actors, politicians, philanthropists, scientists, and musicians to reveal their all-time favorite books they've read to their kids. It's a great resource for parents hoping to prime their kids for success, as well as adults who want to revisit the lessons of their childhood.

Bialik's favorites offer touching lessons on being different.
