Kicking Off Summer Reading And Snow Day Activities With Children’s Books List

School’s Almost Out (or Snow Days)… It’s Time To Select Books For Your Summer Reading Children’s Book List!

I received a copy of the books listed below in order to facilitate a review.*

There’s nothing like the lazy days of summer in the shade with a good book and an ice cold glass of sweet tea to while away the hours of a hot summer day. I’m guilty of becoming so engrossed in a good book I completely lose track of time, therefore, I set the alarm on my phone if I need to be somewhere or do something by a certain time. ;)
