We went camping in tents and cabins a lot when I was a kid. My daughter has already shown an interest in going camping, but until we do go on our own trip, these camping toys and books for kids have helped us to pretend!
My daughter loves to dance. Not a day goes by that we are not dancing around the house to one song or another. I’m sure she gets it from me, since I am usually dancing while I cook, wait in line, or drive the car. To feed our love of dance and movement, I decided to gather some of our favorite children’s books about dancing. I hope your little dancers enjoy them as well!
How do your kids deal with separation? Being apart is something that all families will have to deal with at some point. Some kids stay with a caretaker or daycare teacher while their parents are at work. Other kids may be home with a parent, but someday have to separate when they go off to school. Some children have parents who live in different homes, and have to split their time. All of these situations can be difficult for both the parents and kids to deal with. So I am happy to share some of the best children’s books about separation that have helped my daughter and I to cope when we have to be apart.
Father’s Day is right around the corner, so I wanted to share some new children’s books about dads and kids that are perfect for celebrating the holiday.
There is a lot in the news about immigration and refugees, and these can be difficult topics to explain to kids.

I have always found space and space travel interesting. So I am always thrilled when we get the chance to check out fun new space books for kids! This list of books about space and astronauts are sure to spark a child’s interest in space, and may encourage them to want to learn more about it.
One of my favorite things to do with my daughter is to tell jokes and make her giggle. She loves telling jokes now, although she doesn’t always understand them. So I was thrilled when we were given the chance to check out some new silly and funny books for kids!
I love reading aloud and seeing kids get drawn into a story. When I was a teacher, it was my favorite part of any day. From 3 year olds to 5th graders, I have worked in lots of classrooms, and I never found a group of kids who couldn’t be drawn in by a good story. So I decided to share some of my favorite books to read aloud. These are all good for keeping kids entertained, and they are lots of fun to get into and perform.
Reading before bed is one of my favorite parts of the day.
