Kids’ Picks — July

July 21, 2009 by Jennifer

Is it July already? My daughter was in school through the third week of June, and then we left for a very long journey right before July 4th and just returned. So, while that is definitely a summertime activity, it hasn’t exactly felt like the lazy hazy days of summer.

What about your kids? Have they been reading up a storm? Have you been enjoying a book together as a family? Have they tried to get away from anything vaguely academic, including turning the pages of a novel?

Tell us all about it.

Write a post on your own blog telling us what your kids could recommend this month, then leave a comment linking directly to your post.

If you don’t have a blog, or don’t write up a full post, please leave a comment telling us about it.

Be sure to leave your children’s ages as well. I know that I love hearing about what other little bookworms are enjoying!

    Amanda (10) and Kyle (5) BOTH read on this vacation. Here’s what they enjoyed on our trip, with a bonus pick from my 11-year-old nephew:

    I did something a bit different this time … I videoed Kiddo talking about some of the books he’s reading. Hope you enjoy it! Here’s the link. 🙂

    Post-weekend trip time in our household– so, instead of unpacking bags, I spent naptime writing up my kids’ picks post! 🙂
