It's hard to believe it's almost time to go back to school. I'm still wondering where the summer went! I hope everyone had as great a summer as I did. I got to travel to Yellowstone National Park and Glacier National Park with my parents. We are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary here are two of my favorite pictures that I took. The first one is Old Faithful at Yellowstone National Park. I also got a really cool picture of a coyote in mid howl. The other three pictures are from Glacier National Park.
Like any major event, back to school has a lot of great books. Here are some of my favorites. One of my new favorite is School's First Day of School by Adam Rex. I can't believe no one had ever written this book before. It is a fun one. But be aware it is a little bit long for some young kids. Other great books about school are The Night Before Kindergarten by Natasha Wing, The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn, David Goes to School by David Shannon, and my all-time favorite, Pete the Cat Rocking in My School Shoes by Eric Litwin. Check out the video below of Pete the Cat.
For the older kids some great chapter books about school are Adventure According to Humphrey by Betty Birney (the first in a series), Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life by James Patterson, Bad Kitty School Daze by Nick Bruel, and Amelia's Notebook by Marissa Moss.
All of the books that I've mentioned above are available at the public library and the Hollywood Elementary library.
Happy Reading!!
