I love Oliver Jeffers's books. Sweetly illustrated story of ambition and friendship. I should really buy some of his books for my nieces.

LibrarianJen Is that a penguin? If so I have to get it for #Zeek 5y
ImperfectCJ @LibrarianJen Yep, penguin! His penguinness is integral to the plot, too (not to give any spoilers...). 5y
LibrarianJen Woohoo! 🐧 5y
AvidReader25 He has another sweet one about a penguin called Lost and Found! @LibrarianJen 5y

Dropped my kindergartener off for his first full day of school this morning. 😭 Now, both of my babies are in school. To distract myself - and celebrate my freedom - I headed to the greenway which I usually only manage on weekends. Got in a 7-miles (5mi run, 2mi walk) while rereading the tagged book. Then, I met a couple of mom friends for lunch. 🥐🍓

Lcsmcat I loved those years. I had some freedom during the day, and my kids were so excited to tell me all about their day in the afternoon. Happy memories. 5y
TheSpineView Great job! 😊 5y
IamIamIam Happy first day of school for everyone!!! 5y

LibrarianJen It was our first day of school too! #Zeek started 1st grade and it was my first full day with students back. 5y
CocoReads Kids start back on Thursday here. At least in South Bend. In MI, where I work, they don‘t go back til after Labor Day. 5y
Megabooks That must be a hard transition! I‘m glad you could go for a run and meet friends! 💜 5y
britt_brooke @Lcsmcat It‘s going to be a great year! It was so good to see both of their faces when I picked them up this afternoon. I‘m lucky I get to stay home and enjoy these years. 💚 5y
britt_brooke @IamIamIam Thanks! 💚 5y
britt_brooke @LibrarianJen Hope you both had a great day! 5y
britt_brooke @CocoReads School technically started last Monday here, but kindergarten was phased in. That‘s why my little guy‘s first full day was today. It‘s so early here but they get s lot of nice breaks through the year. 5y
britt_brooke @Megabooks I missed him today, but he‘s so ready for this! That helps. 💚 5y
Cortg Sounds like a great day! I hope your darling boys had a wonderful day as well! 5y
britt_brooke @Cortg Thanks so much! They did. 💚💚 5y

britt_brooke @imabusybee Totally! 😭 5y
kspenmoll Great workout! Unsettling at first to have your little one a kindergartener- 5y
britt_brooke @kspenmoll It feels very weird not having him with me all day, but he‘s doing great so that helps. 💚 5y
Reviewsbylola I‘ve been celebrating my freedom too. 😆 But after two days I‘m wondering what to do with myself. 🤣🤣🤣 5y
britt_brooke @Reviewsbylola Read. Just read. 😆 I have so much stuff to do around my house. We‘re doing some minor renovating so that will keep me busy for a bit. I must admit, it‘s super peaceful running errands ALONE. 5y
Reviewsbylola The running errands alone is my favorite part. No one begging me to buy them something. 🤣🤣🤣 5y
CallMeIshmael I‘m going to try running while listening to an audio book....never have tried it before 5y
britt_brooke @CallMeIshmael It‘s not as motivating as music, but depending on the book, you can really zone out and forget how miserable you are. 😆🥵 5y

Hey all!!! I need help!!! I am doing a challenge where I have to fill out a crossword puzzle of Pokémon characters Generation 1. I have not watched an episode of Pokémon in probably 15 years, nor do I remember any but Pikachu. If you know any of these I would appreciate any help you can give. If you don‘t, that is okay, as soon as my group starts posting theirs I can get some of the answers. Thanks!!!!

Texreader My daughter just got into Pokémon again this summer. I‘ll run these by her. 5y

An honest look at parenting and the fun and trials that go with it.

This was so real and hilarious. I could relate to so much in this book. I loved the stick drawings that accompany the book. It touches on every aspect of parenting in the early years. I loved every page and of course biscuits are the key to parenting. A must read for all parents.

LibrarianJen Stacked! The older kid on the cover is so #Zeek and I do love Gin! 5y
kezzlou85 @LibrarianJen Its a great read. Hope you enjoy it. 5y

#BBRC Part 2, we don‘t lack easy readers in this house! We have a whole shelf dedicated to them. A lot I saved from when I was a kid and I let #Zeek pick one out when we go to the bookstore. I‘m using the tagged book for written before 2000 prompt, Wild Kratts for the TV character, Nat Geo for non-fiction, and Moo Dog for readers choice. I already used Pete the Cat for published in the last 5 years. #raisingreaders

LibrarianRyan LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE !!!! 5y
Blaire My son loved the wild kratt ones! Nat geo is a great choice for non-fiction. 5y

Todd Parr is the best for tackling big issues and simplifying them for young children. This one didn‘t disappoint and it had yoga for me and underwear for @LibrarianRyan 😀 #Zeek has already asked me to read it 3 times since yesterday. #raisingreaders #ZeekApproved #BBRC

Working on the #BBRC reading challenge. #Zeek loves Biscuit and I love Pete the Cat, so I read Pete to him and he read Biscuit to me! I love that he‘s starting to read. He was reluctant at first but then I assured him that I would always read to him whether he could read or not and since then he‘s taken off with the reading. 🥰 #raisingreaders

LibrarianRyan ahhhhhhhh.. 5y
britt_brooke Good job, Zeek! PS. love Pete the Cat, too. 😉 5y

OMG this is the cutest book ever! First there is a riddle to solve and then on the next page is the yoga pose. #zeek had so much fun trying to figure out which pose the riddle referred to, and then we had to stop reading so he could do the pose! The boy sure does love his yoga. 🥰 He also got a kick out of the seagull on each page doing the poses too. #ZeekApproved #Raisingreaders #yoga #namaste #BBRC

Took #Zeek to the library after school today. It‘s July 1, meaning the start of the #BBRC ! The first couple of sections will be easy since I have littles. The adult stuff will give me more of a challenge. Anyways, I told Ezekiel to pick a picture book from authors A-G. Of course like me he got distracted and picked more than 1 of some letters. 😍
#raisingreaders

alisiakae I picked multiples from some letters, because I couldn't decide on just one! 😂I haven't figured out what I will do for X yet. 5y
LibrarianJen @4thhouseontheleft you are doing multicultural books right? Are you going by author or title? 5y
alisiakae I‘m doing books that include diverse characters and have an emphasis on being inclusive, and/or have strong female characters. Authors are for the most part female and/or POC. 5y

Finished reading this book with #Zeek last night. I love how much important things they can stuff into the pages of a J fiction book without it feeling forced.
Taking care of pets? ✔️
True animal facts? ✔️
Environmental sustainability? ✔️
Aging people going into nursing homes? ✔️
Consequences of keeping secrets even when they are against the law? ✔️
