Some people get excited when they win a prize or find money in the couch — I get excited about books 🙂
As a lover of kids lit, I adore finding ways to connect crafts, activities and real-life experiences to books. We use them when we travel, when we want to explore a new topic, as a way to stretch our creative thinking — there are so many possibilities.
Well, make that Birthday Season for everyone in my family BUT me.
I celebrated my special day last month – super great day! The kids made me pancakes and I didn’t have to run one errand all day long (now that’s a birthday).
So Spring is my time to focus on creating special days for my family.
I’m a list-making kind of girl. Pen and paper for me (my tech-saavy teen thinks I’m so old school!)
We love reading at our house and are always visiting the library, looking for new books to devour. So I’ve found that having a list really helps. I have a list for myself and also encourage the kids to add to it so I know what books they’re dying to read.
And just in time for the holidays, right!
Welcome to the Kid Lit Giveaway Holiday Hop sponsored by Youth Literature Reviews and Mother Daughter Book Reviews.
You catch up with friends on Facebook, check in on Foursquare and tweet on Twitter. But, do you have an online library account?
Recently, my daugher has been very focused on reading books from the fantasy genre and I’m sure you know how kids can quickly become obsessed with a specific type of book. I’ve been looking for good books in various genres that will grab the interest of my daughter so she can vary her reading a little more.
I am being compensated by Bookboard for sharing my thoughts on their digital library. As always, all opinions are my own — I only share programs that we really love and can highly recommend!
Last month, we signed up for a free trial on Bookboard, a digital library for our iPad.
