I love giving thought-provoking, creative and--dare I say--educational gifts to my nieces and nephews. This past Christmas, I decided to start a book club for five of my nieces, ages 8-10. The plan is to read four books in 2010. The girls have the months of January and February to read our first book, Beezus and Ramona, and I'll host a sleepover in March where we will talk about the book.
In the second quarter, we'll read Trumpet of the Swan by E.B. White. Our third book will be Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell. After that, we'll vote on the book for the fourth quarter.
In preparation for the book club, I put away some of the technical manuals (whew) that I've been wading through to read some great books geared toward youth readers. For the month of January, I will be featuring some of those books. Do some reading in 2010. :)
