How the Grinch Stole Christmas! | Dr. Seuss

#Costco #BookHaul for the kids. Okay, the tagged was really for me. 😉 Not pictured are the books my eldest immediately disappeared into his room with, the last Diary of a Wimpy Kid and a couple nonfiction books about the universe. #RaisingReaders

An Encyclopedia of Tolkien: The History and Mythology That Inspired Tolkien's World | David Day

Gift idea for the Tolkien fan found at Costco for $14.99. Lovely faux leather cover, gilded pages, beautiful illustrations on the end pages ... bought this for my Dad, wbo introduced me to The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.

(When I saw this, my first thought was "It's Stephen Colbert in book form!")

Heartland: A Memoir of Working Hard and Being Broke in the Richest Country on Earth | Sarah Smarsh

#Costco haul today included one book for me. I saw the tagged book and had to grab it since I‘m seeing the author speak next month.

The Ron Chernow is for my dad for Christmas. I‘m sure he‘ll find it interesting if he ever reads it. 😆 It is soooooooo long so he may have to wait until he retires.

The Roald Dahl set is a Christmas gift for Genevieve. I‘ve heard these are fun to read aloud so I figured why not??

DivineDiana Gotta love Costco! 👍🏻 6y

Cinfhen Gotta agree with @DivineDiana 😍 6y

Pamwurtzler We‘re seeing him too, but there‘s no way I can read that book in less two weeks!! I‘m sure people will ask him about Hamilton, and I have read that. 6y

Picture Fit Board Books: A Barnyard of Friends | Roger Priddy

Last Sunday we went to Costco, which usually results in a book haul for the kids. The oldest found a book on creating Star Wars themed games using Scratch. The Poke A Dot book has clear plastic bubbles to press while counting animals. A great learning book that produces a noise that is a cross between popping bubble wrap and cracking knuckles. Annoying? Yup. A Barnyard of Friends is a sweet book with layered illustrations. #kidbookhaul #costco

SleepyDragon I would tag the other two, but they aren't in the database. Other Poke a Dot books are, though. I actually did see this one, but liked the Old MacDonald one better. There are a lot of Scratch workbooks out there, and my son has built up a little collection. This one involves creating your own Star Wars sprites, which adds a level he hasn't dealt with before.
