Happy Summer 2011!
Summer is a great time to read and for this last post I have collected a number of links to reading lists. I think you’ll find something for everyone! It will remain on this blog until September.
The Montecito Library is offering a wonderful summer reading program again this year. There are prizes to be had by young readers—a little incentive for every five books read up to twenty-five. In addition to the incentive program for reading, there are also many events happening at the library this summer: jugglers, magicians, storytellers, puppeteers, etc. For the teens in the family there is also a game night and a backpacking talk/demonstration. Check it out. It is good for the whole family! http://www.sbplibrary.org/kids/index.html
So relax, kick back with a lemonade, and read, read read!

BookHive
BookHive is a web site designed for children ages birth through twelve, their parents, teachers or anyone interested in reading about children’s books. Providing reader’s advisory service, this site contains hundreds of recommended book reviews in a variety of reading levels and interest areas. Parents may find special “parental notes” attached to some reviews that provide additional information about the book. Users can search for books by author, title, reading level, interest area, number of pages, and even favorite illustrator.
