One
of the many cool things about picture books is that they can be themed based. What
I mean by themed is, picture books can feature themes referencing dragons,
toys, holidays, princesses, pirates and so much more. How can themed books help
parents and kids?
Having
a reading day with a theme is great for rainy days, snowy days or even sunny
days. Any day is a great time for picking up a book and reading. Having a theme
is fun for kids. If your child is obsessed with fairies, more than likely your
local librarian can help you find all the picture books featuring fairies. If
your child is obsessed with trucks, again your local librarian can help you
find books featuring trucks.
If
you want to have even more fun with themed books, you can have the kids pick
their own themes. Write them down and put them in a decorative canister or
shoebox. Each day or week have them randomly pick. This will be fun and a
surprise each time they choose. I’ve included some links for craft ideas for
your themes safe keeping.

This
week I'm sharing a theme featuring picture
books about reading books. These books can engage young readers to
discover wacky characters who love books and reading. As always, happy reading!
