I too love talking about books as do my kids. My kids are older now and when friends/colleagues ask about books to read to their kids, my kids light up when recommending their favorites. I bet yours will too!<br /><br />I will talk a lot more about books - thanks again!<br />MerylMERYL JAFFE, PhD - parent, psychologist, teacher, author...https://www.blogger.com/profile/10310099341897509058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535525493775623042.post-21575003262550976392010-08-10T08:39:31.706-07:002010-08-10T08:39:31.706-07:00I love your ideas for end of summer.

Pairing an activity with a related book extends both - the experience and the book!<br /><br />One of my 3 year old's favorite books, Foolish Rabbit's Big Mistake (http://amzn.to/9xAQHT), goes well with apple picking. An apple falls from a tree under which the foolish rabbit is sleeping. Then ensues the "sky is falling" story. The pictures are rich with color and texture. After one reading, he "read" the book to his daddy and teenage brother. <br /><br />Another of his favorites is Camomile Heads for Home (http://amzn.to/aSMlP5). It's a longer book for a 3 year old, but has many little extras in the illustrations. We have some farms in our area that cater to child visits. That would fit this book well.<br /><br />I love any discussion of books for kids. Thanks for sharing!atxteacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15216583790234498239noreply@blogger.com
