Ways to make Summer Reading Fun!

Plan time to read: Making reading a priority can impact how our kids feel about it. Give some special time everyday and make it fun!

Find a special reading spot: Create a cozy nook they can only use for reading, maybe on the front porch or in a corner of your living room. 

Read to your children: The words don't need to be perfect, it matters that they are spending time with you reading a book.

Create an atmosphere: By turning the lights off you can get children excited to dive into a book. You can use a flashlight at bedtime to make the experience special for your little reader. 

Team up with animals: Read to your family pet or bring your child's favorite stuffy with you! Everyone loves hearing a story!

Picture Book 
Jameson only ever wears green pants. But if he wants to be in his cousin’s wedding, he’s going to have to wear a tuxedo, and that means black pants. How can he not wear green pants? Will Jameson turn down this big honor, or will he find a way to make everyone happy, including himself? In this pitch-perfect ode to individualism, acclaimed author-illustrator Kenneth Kraegel creates a character readers of all ages can root for — whatever color pants they wear.
