Last night, we invited friends over for water fun. Then, watermelon. The kids were soaked.

Parents were encouraged to bring pajamas for their kids to change into. When everyone was dry and in their jammies, I shared a fun new book. The Watermelon Seed by Greg Pizzoli They loved it. One of the boys took it home to enjoy again. And probably again. . . and again. . . and again.

His sister wanted to read aloud to the group. She read 999 Frogs Wake Up by Ken Kimura. Picture books are often difficult to read. But she sounded it out and showed all the pictures to her audience on the floor.

The other book I read was, Can You Make a Scary Face by Jan Thomas. All Jan Thomas’ books are funny. In my opinion, this is the funniest. I was shocked to learn ML doesn’t know the chicken dance. Guess what I’m teaching her this weekend? Read the book. You’ll understand why.
