(Children’s Book Week; it turns out that it’s this week)
It’s Children’s Book Week this week! And that’s great because books for kids are wonderful. We love having a whole week to celebrate them in!
Here are five easy ways you can join in the celebration:
- Read a children’s book this week! Many of them are delightful..
- What was your favorite children’s book when you were a small child? Call up your parents and ask them. (Mine are always delighted to tell me about the book about the that I made them read over . . . and over . . . and over . . . and over . . . and over and now have absolutely no memory of.)
- Tell your friends about your favorite children’s book — one that you can actually still remember having read. Who has the weirdest favorite? Whose is the most obscure?
- What’s your favorite children’s book that you actually own? Dig it out of your bookshelf and put it in a place of honor this week — somewhere where you can gaze upon it and contemplate the folly and delight of youth.
- Find an actual real-life child! Then read to them a children’s book. Their favorite? Your favorite? Let them pick!
And, if you’re in for a more challenging course, check out the list of Children’s Book Week events up on the Children’s Book Week website! They’re everywhere . . . and you could go to one!
