10 Picture Books About Giants
We’ve been in a kick of reading GIANT books. Not 300 page tomes but books that feature l-a-r-g-e creatures. Giants, ogres, and other beings with “terrible tusks and terrible claws and terrible teeth in [their] terrible jaws.” This post contains…
Simple Easter Ideas: Literacy Egg Hunt & Resurrection Garden

Monthly Book Log {November & December 2017}
I will always hold dear the memories of snuggling up with 4 year old Preschool Bookworm and reading our first Christmas novels together. We have read piles and piles of Christmas picture books, and this year we were ready for…
