Summer Challenge Week NINE: A Wilderness Adventure

on


Welcome to week NINE of the Summer Reading Challenge! This week may inspire you to get out, explore the outdoors, and have a little (or big) wilderness adventure of your own! You could go for a walk at a local park, take a boat for a spin, hike a trail, maybe even go camping in the woods. And if staying home is your thing, why not plan a future adventure or have an imaginary one right in your living room? Whatever you do, we hope you enjoy being adventurous with your readers.

Suggested titles:

One Summer Up North by John Owens, a delightful wordless picture book that follows a family as they explore the Boundary Waters on the border of Minnesota and Canada.

Squeak! by Laura McGee Kvasnosky, illustrated by Kate Harvey McGee. This book is a chain reaction story about various animals waking up to greet the day. Charming and beautifully illustrated. Let it inspire you to get out and explore nature.

Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. This classic inspires the imaginative adventurer in all of us.
