We recently enrolled Bear into a summer reading program at the library. Yeah, it’s kinda late since summer is just about over and he’ll be starting school very soon. But it’s never too late to read or enjoy a good book!
I have a small list of books I’ve picked out for Bear for summer reading but I also want to recommend some favorites we personally have at home.
All of the book pictures are clickable to purchase! Let’s go!
From our personal collection:
Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus.
Cute, simple, and straight to the point. If your child really enjoys this book, check out the activity book that you can also get.
Where The Wild Things Are.
An oldie but goodie. Follow the adventure as Max becomes King of the Wild Things.
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
This is a fun alphabet book. Not only will your child learn his alphabet but they will also get a fun story out of it.
Dragons Love Tacos
It’s a fun, silly story about how dragons love tacos. I mean, come on…who doesn’t love tacos?
Books We’ve Picked Up From the Library:
Googles by Ezra Jack Keats
I’m a huge Ezra Jack Keats fan. I grew up on his books and I’m passing the tradition to Bear. His books are simple and fun to follow along.
I Love My Hair! by Natasha Anastasia Tarpley.
Although this book is about a girl’s experience with her hair, I picked it up for Bear since he has a head full of curly hair. I want him to embrace his hair and be proud of it.
Freedom Summer
This book is a child’s take on the Civil Right’s Act of 1964. It’s never too early to teach your child about race relations and history.
Penguins Don’t Wear Sweaters!
This is a heartwarming book inspired by true events that also teaches about your child about the environment and caring for the earth.
Lulu’s Birthday
Lulu can’t decide how she wants to spend her birthday. Her niece and nephew have other ideas that teach about the power of love, celebration and family.
Bonus book:
Not Quite Snow White
With all of the recent controversy over a fictional mermaid (are mermaids a certain race?), this is a great book to remind children that racism is a learned trait by assholes who should know better.
What books is your child reading this summer?
