Yes, that's right. All summer long we have been taking part in the Summer Virtual Book Club for Kids. We have had a great time reading and creating right along side an incredible group of bloggers. So, when we reached the end of the summer we didn't want the book fun to stop. Instead, we have put together an incredible list of authors for the next 12 MONTHS. Welcome to the year long Virtual Book Club for Kids.
Wondering which authors were selected? Well, we are kicking things off this month with Lois Ehlert and things keep on rolling from there...
September 17th - Lois Ehlert ::: October 15th - Amy Krouse Rosenthal ::: November 19th - Tomie de Paola ::: December 17th - Jan Brett ::: January 21st David McPhail ::: February 18th - Dr.Seuss ::: March 18th - Julia Donaldson ::: April 15th - David Shannon ::: May 20th - Leo Lionni ::: June 17th - Gail Gibbons ::: July 15th - Jez Alborough ::: August 19th - Donald Crews
So, how you can get involved? Easy. Read a book by the month's featured author with your child. Create an activity, recipe, craft, whatever that is related to, or inspired by the book you read. Share what you created with us as a part of the blog hop, which will be up on the third Monday of every month. Don't have a blog? No problem. Stop by the Virtual Book Club for Kids Facebook page and let us know what you did. We would love to hear from you.
