If you know me or have followed along for a while, you know I am an avid reader and believe that reading to your children is one of the most important things you can do. In one of my posts last month, I suggested creating your own book club to encourage kids to read . If you missed it, you can see it
here. Each month,I am going to suggest a handful of seasonal stories for those of you who would like to give them as book club gifts or want to share them with your own children ,grandchildren or any of the little ones in your life. Here are some of our favorite picks for January.
I'm a fan of anything by Jan Brett, but
The Mitten is a classic. When a young child loses a mitten in the snow, it becomes a warm refuge for a variety of woodland animals. A wonderful story,with gorgeous illustrations, sure to warm the heart on a cold day.
The Snowy Day,by Ezra Jack Keats, was written decades ago, but still holds all the wonder of that first snowfall each winter. This story brings back wonderful memories for me and I love sharing it with children. A must have for any child's library.
Steven Kroll's
The Biggest Snowman Ever demonstrates how teamwork can help accomplish even the most daunting task. A sweet story filled with winter fun.
I loved these reading stories as a young girl and
this one is a great introduction to the Little House Books for the new reader.Filled with family,chores,coziness and a look at life back in the day. A special winter tale.
Freddy is a fun character with insecurities,determination and a love of sharks. Any of the books in this series will have the reader coming back for more. In
this winter adventure, Freddy is facing his fears about competing in the class winter olympics. A great story about perseverance and believing in oneself.
I hope this list makes your monthly Book Club for Kids choices a bit easier, and encourages you to continue to get your children excited about books and reading! Enjoy!
