It’s that time of year again! When the days start getting shorter and as temperatures cool down, that could only mean that it’s time for school to start again. There’s a lot to be excited about — new friends, old friends, learning interesting things. But school can be kind of scary, too. Find out if a girl’s buffalo is ready for school or how saber-toting pirates enjoy school. Practice a fire drill, ride a school bus, and more — all in the books suggested here, just in time for the new school year!
There are lots of things to explore, wonder about, and discover on a hot summer afternoon, all from the comfort of your coolest reading nook. Visit an alien landscape, meet a T-rex named Rufus, or count how many different kinds of fruits and vegetables you can find. You can become an armchair adventurer or ninja with a pirate pig or a bunny, even meet a poet named Caleb. These and more wait between the pages of books!
It’s summertime and a great time to get crafty — with arts and crafts, that is! Crafts come in all shapes and sizes, from simple to complex. Some require paper and markers, and others just a natural enthusiasm for theatrical reading. With a little bit of imagination and a few easy-to-find supplies, you and your child can create pop-up cards, food from around the world and lots more. A great way to while away the longer days of summer. Take a look at any of these books to get you started!
