We’ve been frequenting the library this summer and checking out lots of fun books! Thought I’d share a few of our recent favorites!
While I’m linking to the Amazon page for each book so you can see more info about it, you should definitely check and see if your local library has these titles or can get them for you via inter-library loan.
How to Bake an Apple Pie and See the World – super cute story that teaches geography, where food comes from, and cooking skills!
Saturday is Dadurday – can’t tell you how many times we have read this fun book about the special relationship between a dad and his daughter!
Helen’s Big World: The Life of Helen Keller – my girls especially were fascinated with Helen’s life and her amazing teacher, Annie!
This Is My Home, This is My School – a book about a homeschooling family (written by a homeschool graduate), which my kids find so neat!
P is for Passport – helpful for teaching about different cultures and places around the world (as well as the alphabet for younger kids)!
Do Unto Otters – the kids thought this was funny (and enjoyed listening to the audio book many times)!
Louise, The Adventures of a Chicken – this is another (silly) audio book that we’ve enjoyed!
One Tiny Turtle – this story of the life cycle of a sea turtle is one of Jude’s current favorites!
We’re also reading a lot of multicultural books because I recently starting reading this book! Give Your Child the World is a new guide for parents that includes over 600 titles of children’s books organized by part of the world. This is so helpful! Just take it to the library with you and find titles for your children to read (or for you to read aloud to them).
I’m also participating in the corresponding summer book club, which is so fun! Anyone else doing it too?
We’re just about halfway to our goal of finishing the summer reading program at our library, and the kids look forward to our reading times each day! Have you been reading a lot to your children this summer? Do you have any titles to recommend?

Thanks for these book suggestions! We’ll be checking them out at the library soon! It’s always nice to have book recommendations. 🙂
You’re welcome! I may do posts like this more often if people enjoy them!
