Monthly reviews and recommendations about books I am reading plus movies guides on various topics.
I love curating collections of children’s books for my kids. Whether it is for a specific holiday, season, or activity, books can help us get excited about some upcoming time or event. Below you will find some of our favorite children’s picture books about fall. Celebrate the changing of the seasons and what autumn brings.
This past year my daughters (ages four and two) have started to love chapter books being read to them. Before bed each night my kids each get to pick out two books to read and inevitably one of the girls always picks a chapter book. Depending on the length of the chapters we read one or two chapters a night and then we put a bookmark in to hold our place.
Of the four books I chose to review this month there were some clear winners for me. I’m going on a girls’ weekend trip soon during which I hope to get a lot more pleasure reading in but I’ll probably just end up chatting the whole time (I don’t get many uninterrupted adult conversations). I hope you find a book to add to your summer reading list from the recommendations below.
Summer is the absolute best. I’m in the best mood the majority of the time. Wisconsin is probably not the state I should be living in if I am this affected by warmth and sunlight. I’ve been able to read outside each day in little spurts between refereeing fights between my kids and getting out water toys for the backyard. It’s been a good month of reading. Check out my June book reviews below to hopefully find your next great read.
