Election season is here. As election ads take over the airwaves, and signs pop up all around us, kids may have lots of questions about the voting process. This list of election books for kids are a great way to introduce them to the process of voting.

My daughter and I are huge fans of Karma Wilson’s books. Her Bear books are in constant rotation in our read aloud line up, and my daughter already names her as her favorite author. So as dog lovers, we were so excited when we heard that she was writing a new book about a dog named Doug. This adorable story gave us the opportunity to engage in some dog activities too!
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 
Halloween is right around the corner, which means that stores and homes will soon be covered in ghosts, pumpkins, and skeletons. To get in the Halloween spirit, we wanted to share this fun book that tells the story of a skeleton in need. He receives help from the friends around him (sometimes with humorous results). This book also provided us with the perfect opportunity to have fun with some skeleton activities, games and crafts!
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!
I love 
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!
Books are magical. They can teach us, transport us, make us feel safe, push us out of our comfort zones, and make us feel like we know people and places that have never even existed. Books can teach us about the world, and they can teach us about ourselves. From the very beginning, books and reading can have a transformative effect on your life. Today, we had the opportunity to check out a book that shows what makes books special, and how they can transform your life. It offers an opportunity to think about the books that inspire and shape you as well.
We are surrounded by technology. I tried to keep my daughter away from it as much as possible when she was a baby, but as soon as she was old enough to walk around and explore the world around her, she found technology. She loves playing with phones and tablets, and she has her favorite TV shows. But it’s so important that we remember to take a technology break once in a while and enjoy some screen free family time. Today’s book serves as a great reminder that sometimes we have to put down the phones and enjoy life!
