Book and Gift Pairings for Holiday Giving

  Happy Holidays! Books are always great gifts, but especially at the holidays we may want to give a little bit more. When you pair a book with a coordinating gift, it makes the experience of reading even more fulfilling! This year’s Read, Discuss, Do! book and gift pairing guide lists some of our favorite picture books with other gift ideas to help you extend the fun of the story beyond the last page, and maybe even encourage some new experiences.  Continue reading for the full list of recommendations.  

Summer Challenge Week SIX: Nighttime!

 


Welcome to week five of the Read, Discuss, Do Summer Challenge! So far we've had a lot of fun with ice cream, playing in the dirt, setting sail, red, white & blue, and fireworks! If you've missed out on any of those challenges, feel free to catch up any time. And if you're new, we hope you'll jump in!

This week's theme is NIGHTTIME! We hope this challenge leads to some fun books and discussions about night. We suggest having some fun with flashlights, playing hide-and-go-seek in the dark, or trying a night sky art project. Whatever you do, you have fun! Remember to use #RDDSummerChallenge if you share in the fun on Instagram and Twitter.

Recommended titles:

Flashlight Night by Matt Forrest Esenwine, illustrated by Fred Koehler. This is an imaginative book about children using their flashlights to explore the world--and their imaginations--at night.

Noisy Night by Mac Barnett, illustrated by Brian Biggs. A fun book that will have readers trying to solve the mystery of the noises along with the characters.

Nighttime Ninja by Barbara DaCosta, illustrated by Ed Young. A cute book about a sneaky little "ninja" creeping through the house at night. It has a fun twist at the end.
