We've made two trips to the library just this week and have filled our library book baskets in our family room with lots o' great reads.  Both Nathan and Will are in the summer reading program and loving to jot down each day the books they've read onto their summer reading log.

In addition to just mosey-ing around looking at different books and picking a few out, I've picked up our local library's summer reading lists for my kids' specific age groups.

Some of my favorites in the Preschool age range are:

• Manuelo the Playing Mantis by Don Freeman
• A Good Day by Kevin Henkes
• In Aunt Giraffe's Green Garden by Jack Prelutsky
• They Aunt and the Grasshopper by Amy Poole
• Dot and Jabber and the Big Bug Mystery by Ellen Walsh

We've picked out a few books for my soon-to-be Kindergartener on both the Kindergarten and 1st Grade suggested reading lists.  Of those, here are some of our faves:

• Hi, Fly Guy! by Tedd Arnold
• If Not for the Cat by Jack Pelutsky
• Martina, the Beautiful Cockroach by Carmen Deedy
• The Best Place to Read by Debbie Bertram

There's also a great website that I've used for book ideas that you may find useful as well.  It's got suggested reading lists for kids of all grade levels.  Here's wishing you happy reading this summer!  ♥
