There are sometimes when I think my Netflix subscription is just an expensive way for me to binge watch my favorite shows repeatedly. Honestly at this point I should have just bought The Office on DVD. I would have saved a ton of money by now. But we go back to our favorites for a reason. Because it is comforting to fall back into old patterns and revisit old themes. With that in mind, when looking for a new book to jump into, it can be helpful to look back to the things you already enjoy. Take a look at the list below to see what book matches up to your favorite show.

Construction Books for Kids!
What is it about vehicles and trucks that keeps a child’s interest? Most kids are fascinated by construction vehicles of all kinds. Whenever there is work done on our street and there are bulldozers or trucks outside, my daughter is glued to the window watching everything they are doing. Luckily there are lots of wonderful children’s books about construction vehicles and trucks to teach them about the different machines and the jobs that they do.

Like This? Read This! YA Books for Adults to Enjoy
Young adult fiction gets a bad rap sometimes. People assume YA books are full of over the top teen angst and ludicrous plots. And I can understand a bit. I’ve read my fair share of disappointing melodramas. A few years ago, I decided to dig back into the YA world, and I was shocked by the fantastic stories I discovered. Engaging plots, with well-rounded characters and fun creative twists, these books reminded me why reading is so much fun. It is a natural escape from our everyday lives. The world of YA can seem a bit muddy, so I created a list of books that you will enjoy based off of some of your favorite “adult” novels.
Celebrate Reading with Children’s Books about Librarians!
Did you have an influential librarian in your life? I vividly remember visiting our school library as a child, and I have lots of memories of our librarian. There are several books that I remember her reading to us, and I now enjoy reading them to my daughter.
As a teacher, I had the opportunity to work in the school that I grew up in. I was even able to work with that same librarian. At the 5th grade moving up ceremony one year, she read Dr. Seuss’s Oh the Places You’ll Go to the whole room. As I was preparing to graduate from grad school myself, it brought tears to my eyes. It reminded me the power that librarians can have to introduce kids to books and the power of words. Today I decided to honor these special people with this list of children’s books about librarians and the power that they have to open our eyes!
