Heirloom Board Books for Babies and Toddlers
As I was cleaning my 3.5yo Bookworm’s room I realized that his bin of board books hasn’t been getting much love lately. (Let’s not discuss my emotional state as I write this post.) These titles have been adored for the…
Monthly Book Log June 2018 {Age 5 and 3.5}
I’m kind of astonished that we don’t have any family audiobooks to include in this month’s log, given the amount of hours we’ve logged in the van! We’ve been on a music kick, which is fun for the summer! (I…

Monthly Book Log May 2018 {Age 5}

Monthly Book Log April 2018 {Age 5}
After typing up this post I realized all of our reads this month were either old or seemed like it! Copyrights of 1947, 1942, 1963, and the newbie with a setting from the turn of 19th century. This post contains…
Vegan/Plant Based Diet Cookbooks

Our Favorite First Poetry Books
Maybe this is the English teacher in me, but I always strive to include poetry in my bookworms’ literacy experiences– whether those bookworms were my students or my own bookworms. Oh the fun I had with my students doing poetry…

10 Picture Books About Giants
We’ve been in a kick of reading GIANT books. Not 300 page tomes but books that feature l-a-r-g-e creatures. Giants, ogres, and other beings with “terrible tusks and terrible claws and terrible teeth in [their] terrible jaws.” This post contains…
Simple Easter Ideas: Literacy Egg Hunt & Resurrection Garden
