Welcome Kids & Parents to a Place Full of Books and Activities |
This page is about kids and adults reading and doing activities
together. It's about realizing all of the ideas that reading can give you
and all of the different places that reading can take you. It's about
spending time together, the most important thing of all. For each picture
book listed below, you'll find some ideas for related activities, links
to related web sites, and some other recommended books to read! These picture
book pages are designed for adults and kids to look through and do together.
