Children Books :: Library Picks


This week our trip to the library saved us from a terrible thunder storm. It is great for our plants and gardens but not so great for our play time at the park. Usually, it is a trip to the library followed by a stop at the corner store for an ice pop and then a walk to our favorite park on Madison Ave.

Our little library has been part of little man's life since he was able to sit in a circle and listen to songs, now he is joining book clubs and picking his own children's books.

This weeks children's book selection has no particular theme but I can see the interest from summer school, under the sea lesson plan, is still around with his selection of Puffer Fish. Next we take a trip to the zoo with Mr. Carle famous Chameleon. And finally an adventure with a very smart mouse and a Gruffalo

Share a Book Rating ::  5 - Loved them! Can't wait to share with you! 

I am sure some of us have read these children's books in the past. We are enjoying playing Puffer face, thinking about some crafts to make with our chameleon and maybe a Gruffalo recipe for trail mix. Share with me your special memories and reviews of the books.

Keep Turning those pages!
Happy Reading,
