There are apples and pumpkins. There are holidays (and reading about holidays with kids is just about the best thing ever). Now that […]
7 classic kids books no one reads anymore (but they should!)
Are you doing a summer reading program with your kids? I really love our library reading program, because even babies can participate (parents track the minutes they read out loud), and adults can as well.
