Learning about Engineering with Books & Brackitz!
Do your kids enjoy figuring out how things work? Encouraging that curiosity is a great way to inspire a love of learning and maybe start them on a lifelong love of engineering. My daughter has always had an interest in how things work. So I am always on the lookout for books and toys that encourage her to explore and tinker. So when I had the opportunity to check out Brackitz blocks, I was thrilled with how well they would pair with some of the best engineering books for kids!
New Christmas Books Your Family Will Love!
Christmas is right around the corner, which means it is almost time to break out the holiday books! I love reading Christmas and holiday books with my daughter, so I am always excited to check out the new Christmas books being released each year. We had the opportunity to check out some new holiday releases and I’m thrilled to share them with you. Don’t forget to check out the Christmas reading bingo board to expand your holiday reading list this year!
Hanukkah Books Your Kids Will Love!
Hanukkah is right around the corner and my daughter is excited. We don’t celebrate Hanukkah, but when she first learned about the holiday last year, she got so excited that she wanted to learn all about it. A friend of ours sent us a video of her lighting the candles and saying the blessing, and it just inspired her to learn more. So I decided to gather a list of children’s books about Hanukkah to help us learn more about the holiday and the traditions.
Entertaining Activity Books Your Kids Will Want!
I love books that kids can interact with. Look and find books were some of my favorites when I was growing up. I was always writing in journal style books, or looking for books with fun activities I could do. So I decided to gather a list of new activity books for kids! Whether your kids are interested in LEGOs, cooking, STEM or journaling, there is an activity book for them.

Today I decided to gather some of our favorite books on thankfulness to help you dive into the topic as a family.

Books to End the Bedtime Battle
Bedtime can sometimes be a struggle. From the very beginning my daughter has had a difficult time sleeping. We read together every night before bed, so I am always on the lookout for great bedtime books. I previously posted about our Two Book Bedtime Routine, which includes a relaxing book meant to help her drift to sleep. This list of bedtime books are great options for winding down at the end of the day and helping to end the bedtime battle.
15 Children’s Books about Pumpkins
Fall is almost here, which means it’s time to start thinking about pumpkins, apples, and fall festivals! Fall is my favorite time of year, and I love visiting the apple orchards and pumpkin patches with my family. Our neighbor is unintentionally growing pumpkins this year (squirrels love to bury pumpkin seeds it seems), so we have had the opportunity to watch them grow from vines into flowers, and finally into pumpkins. To celebrate the start of fall and continue our pumpkin education, I decided to gather a list of fun children’s books about pumpkins. From board books to picture books, and even non-fiction reads, there is a little something for everyone!

As a teacher, I had a lot of experience learning about different learning styles, multiple intelligence’s, and learning disabilities. I am always thrilled when I find books that represent kids with different learning styles in a positive and empowering light. So I was thrilled to have the opportunity to check out this book series celebrating how we learn!
