Here's your chance to bring a book and teacher created ideas right into your home for your child each month! We're so excited to announce our year long Virtual Book Club for Kids. Each month we will spotlight a new author and each participating blogger will pick a book to focus on that month. We'll share book related crafts and activities the 3rd Monday of each month and we'd love to invite you to join in!
Our co-hosts, Kristina at Toddler Approved and Danielle at Mommy & Me Book Club, have worked together with me and several other kid blogging friends to put together this amazing list of authors for us to focus on this year! Check out the author list below and a few books we have featured by each author. You can click on each book to read to find out more about the authors and books! Start putting a hold on books or ordering to get ready for some fun! Remember it's ANY book from that Author!
Our Yearlong Virtual Book Club Author Picks...
Here's a reminder of what you need to do each month...
- Comment below and let us know that you are joining in!
- Pick your favorite book by that month's author (or a new one you want to check out) and read it with your child or class.
- Create an activity, project, craft, cooking project, etc. related to the book and do it.
- Come back and share it with us as part of a big blog hop on the third Monday of the month. The linky will be live for 3 weeks, so if you aren't ready to post on the exact date... just join in when you can! You can grab the linky code for your site too!
We'll be be posting reminders at the
beginning of each month to help you remember which author we are
spotlighting!
So, if you're joining in... start reserving
some books at your library right now! Or, if you're like me and can't ever
remember to return library books, start looking for cheap books online! We can't
wait to see which books you choose to explore.
For more updates and to see loads of the
posts by participating bloggers, head on over and "Like" our Virtual Book Club for

ReplyDeleteI like having the schedule ahead of time too, my brain will start planning things out over time. I'm so glad you're joining us!
DeleteWhat a great idea. This is just the type of activity I have been looking include in our routine. Nice selection of authors too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, we worked hard on this author list. There are tons out there but we figured these are what most preschool and elementary school teachers use in their classrooms and easy to find. So glad you're joining us!
DeleteGrowing Book by Book would love to participate this year! Thanks!

ReplyDeleteSo glad you're joining us Jamie! I think that's one of the best things about Book Club is that the activities can be gaged for different age groups within the same book. Can't wait to see what you share!
DeleteYou all have inspired me more than you know! Maybe this will help...

I'm so glad we've inspired you to join along on your blog! It's pretty easy once a month. Key is to check out library books early enough to get inspired.
DeleteI'd like to participate at Just Playin' Around. Should we choose from the two books shown for each author, or do we choose any book by the author?
ReplyDeleteJulie you can pick ANY book by the author of the month! So glad you're joining us!

ReplyDeleteWe are joining in! Very excited. I am a SAHM and I have a four year old son. I wasn't familiar with many of these authors (oops!) so it has been fun to go research them and find books! I am new at blogging so not sure exactly how to share my blog. It's www.melissa-godwarrior.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI would love to join in for most of these, I will have to miss the first one. Great idea!
