The Spear Cuts Through Water | Simon Jimenez

Current #audiobook - I'll report back, as promised, @Leniverse

When life (or the greengrocer who by now knows you) gives you chilli, you string them up to dry while your teenagers dare each other to take a bite out of one of them. 🙄🙄🙄 My daughter won, she ate a large bite and now has €50 to spend on books. 😁😁

Leniverse I now have this image in my head of your teens circling like sharks and then darting in to chomp on the bait 😂 1w

julesG @Leniverse 🤣🤣 it was less dramatic. But they deliberated for quite some time which size chilli might be better. 1w

julesG @dabbe Just one daughter and one son. My son thinks he can outsmart his younger sister, but she's feisty. Also, she likes spicy food. 1w

dabbe @julesG I bet they're adorable together! 🤩🤣😍 1w

I‘m so happy I reread this one. It is just so good. I‘ve never watched the movie. My daughter told me she hasn‘t read the book or seen the movie. We plan on reading it together this summer & watching the movie afterwards. #raisingreaders #readbannedbooks

Today, in the UK we celebrate World Book Day. I saw so many children walking to school in some great outfits. I love the fact that every child will receive a book token today which can be exchanged for a book. This could be the first book that some children may own. Encouraging the next generation to read is so important ❤️💕

Aims42 I love this tradition 🥰🥰🥰 #RaisingReaders 2mo

Afternoon on the Amazon Graphic Novel | Mary Pope Osborne

For our 'special reading time' our 8 yo and Fire Raptor went with a Magic Tree House comic. It's too bad only 7 of the Magic Tree House books have been made into comics. He is capable of reading chapter books but his confidence isn't quite there yet so he much prefers to read comics. It's safe to say he'd enjoy many of these books because of the nonfiction blend. Hoping he gets into the chapter books eventually for this reason.

Texreader Awwww! He‘ll get there! 2mo

DogMomIrene Oh he will with help from Fire Raptor! Please tell me you have other elemental raptors… 2mo

Jess861 @DogMomIrene @Texreader - Thanks! We know he will - just wish they had a few more comics out right now for him! 2mo

Jess861 @DogMomIrene I believe he has an Ice Indominous Rex as well, lol. 2mo

DogMomIrene @Jess861 Going to need visual confirmation of that species of reading buddy😂 2mo

Snuggle Buddies | Courtney Carbone

Last night was one of our favourite school events of the year! Every year, they host a Snuggle Up and Read evening. Everyone comes to the school in their pajamas, and there are all sorts of literacy focused events throughout the school. It's the most cozy form of chaos, and the kids LOVE it!

Jari-chan What a wonderful idea❤️ 2mo

Mars | Michelle Lomberg

Tonight we spent our reading time learning about Mars. Simple kids book that had some neat facts. It was easy for an 8 year old to follow along. The fact he enjoyed learning the most was that the North and South Poles have dry ice.

BiblioLitten Awesome! Do you have any more recommendations for non-fiction reads? My son is 7, and they are discussing non-fiction books in school. Or any books that your child really enjoyed in the past year. 😊 3mo

dabbe 🤩🤩🤩 3mo

Jess861 @BiblioLitten we have so many...let me go through the bookshelves and I'll post some that he's loved the most. Lately he has been enjoying National Geographic Weird but True (more facts then a book) and who would win (animals) books. What is your guy into? 3mo

Jess861 @BiblioLitten for fiction he isn't the strongest reader so he has been more into comics (dog man, investigators and bad guys). He has also recently gotten into Diary of a Wimpy Kid. He loved me reading him Dragon Masters and I think he's a strong enough reader to start reading those on his own now. (edited) 3mo

BiblioLitten Thank you! I‘ll look into Investigators and Dragon Masters (he also likes Dragon Hunters). 🐉 3mo

Jess861 @BiblioLitten There are a ton of Dragon Masters books in the series and they are fairly cheap to buy off of scholastic or we've always been able to find them at libraries 🙂 3mo

Jess861 @BiblioLitten - Finally had some time to go through the bookshelves. Some of these he needs some help reading but these are some he enjoys most. This year he has become alot more independent reading them although still needs some help.

Eyewitness Books - some can have some pictures that some kids might not like (snakes eating mice) but in general they don't.

Smithsonian books - The Animal Book: Our World in Pictures is one of his favourites..... 3mo

Jess861 @BiblioLitten

Planet Earth for Curious Kids - another book he loves - needs a bit more help reading this one.

Animals Lost & Found - Stories of extinction, conservation and survival
National Geographic Little Kids First Big Book of Dinosaurs (probably outgrowing soon)
Dinosaurs: 500 Questions and Answers
Discovering Sharks

As you can see our boy really loves Animals....these are some of his favourites for what he is interested in! (edited) 3mo

Jess861 @BiblioLitten -

If your kiddo has any particular interests let me know as I'm sure we have some non-fiction in that subject matter that I can recommend. Our guy enjoys non-fiction more than fiction so we have a ton of books! It was actually quite fun going through the bookshelves and rediscovering some books he hasn't picked up in a while - he's now back into some of them...so thank you!! 3mo

BiblioLitten This is amazing and just made my day! I can completely understand the joy of going through bookshelves. I will check out the books and see if they are in the library. My son likes the Usbourne book for non-fiction. His current favourite is learning about our bodies and about planets. 3mo

BiblioLitten The suggestions are great! I showed him a few pictures of the ones you mentioned and he was interested in Planet Earth for Curious Kids. Thank you so much!! 💙 3mo

Jess861 @BiblioLitten Smithsonian has a Human Body Knowledge Encyclopedia book for kids that he might like. Also on a side note our guy got a science kit for his birthday - Ooze Labs: Visible Human Body with Squishable Organs by Thames & Kosmos.

It comes with a booklet on the body too - very neat if he is into the human body. 3mo

A Language of Dragons | S F Williamson

There was a bookshop on the way home from an appointment. Asked the teenager whether she'd like to go in for a look. She replied "you're going to snob at the English books and I won't find the mangas I'd like to read."

flying_monkeys Love the design on those sprayed edges. 😍 3mo

julesG @flying_monkeys That's why I bought it. The It being Language of Dragons. It was only €3 more than the large international paperback edition. But so worth it. It's even stunning under the dust jacket. Girl's Guide doesn't have a dust jacket but has interesting interior art; it's for the teenager. 3mo

Most of my current 30ish library checkouts... Yeah that's probably about right for my reading ratio these days, my stuff to kids books. #raisingreaders
