My son went back to school and it has helped to get our reading at home back on track! Since I am more strict with getting the kids to bed on time, we keep the TV off. So when the kids start saying they are BORED… we grab a few books and read them together.
I finally went back to the library recently and found some books that the kids really loved. So here is our list for this month!
Hudson:
All That Pikachu:
This is a collection of Pokemon comics and I can’t even understand half of what it says. Apparently, I don’t speak Pikachu… but my son does! He loves this little book and reads it all the time. It is a comic, so the actual “reading” part isn’t much, but I think that is okay since I just want my son to enjoy his books… and I think fun comics like this helps foster a greater love of reading that will stick around. (hopefully) He was so Pokemon obsessed this month that I made him a little shrink-e-dink key chain by tracing his favorite little figure to put on his backpack! It turned out so cute, don’t ya think?
If I Had a Triceratops:
This is a cute little book that makes both kids laugh. (and there are a few parts that made me chuckle as well) We all talk about what it would be like if we had a dino-sized pet and all the silly things we could do with it.

Mila:
Princess Super Kitty:
Mila loves pretending she is both a princess… and a kitty, so when I saw this book I knew she would love it. It is about a little girl who is pretending to be a kitten, but then expands her role as needed to get through her day. It is a very sweet book, and I definitely recommend checking it out.
The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog:
Another awesome Mo Williams book! Mila LOVES hot dogs so she thought this book was hilarious. (& it usually ended with her saying, “Will you make me a hot dog??”) My kids love this entire series and it was fun to find this one, since we had never read it.

Are there any good books your kids are currently loving? We are always looking for new ones, and these books are due back!
My kids love any book with a dinosaur in it! And to pretend it was a pet? It would be their favorite! Haha!
It is really funny, it makes me laugh everytime we read it!
How is it that we've never read any of these! I love finding new books, thanks!
Yes!! They are all really good too, except for the Pokemon comic book.. I don't understand it. but my son is obsessed with it, so that is all that matters. 😉
What a fun booklist. I'll have to read a few to the little ones when I see them.
They will love them! 🙂
I think my kids would love If I Had a Triceratops. They love going to the "dinosaur museum" so this book fits perfectly with that!
It is a REALLY funny book… my kids and I love it.
Love these suggestions…right now I read The Very Hungry Caterpillar over and over and over with the little guy I nanny!
My kids love that book too.. its a good one!
Those look great! My daughter was so proud of herself when she could read, er, recite "Polar Bear, Polar Bear: What Do You Hear" and all the books of that series.
YES! Brown bear brown bear.. what do you see? is something my toddler pretends to read all the time!
my son likes whatever i read him – thank goodness!
Thats great! 🙂 I hope you are having an awesome week!
Yes, Princess Super Kitty!!! Such a great book! Thank you for sharing!!!
Great books! I love finding mew books fory kids to love.
My 11-year-old daughter loves the Warrior series and the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. My 5-year-old daughter has become a huge Star Wars fan like her mom and wants to keep reading the new Star Wars Little Golden Books and the Early Reader Clone Wars books. I like these a lot better than the Dora and SpongeBob books.:-)
How have I not heard of any of these? I am out of the loop. I've got an 8 year old that would love your son's (and probably your daughter's) picks.
Love that you guys make reading a priority! It will make them life long learners!

My pigeon finds a hot dog!!! I love that title. Meanwhile, my tots are obsessed with an Elmo 'open the flaps book..Elmo Goes to School..it's on repeat every night, multiple times.
My son loves all the "If You Give a Moose a Muffin" series. He just started chapter books (I read them to him) and we also love the Captain Awesome series.
My kids love The Book With No Pictures by B.J. Novak. Overall any book I'm willing to read is a hit with them, and my 4 year old loves books about Caterpillars (The Crunching Munching Caterpillar is currently an everyday read)
Awe, so many cute books! Thanks for sharing at the Shine Blog Hop!
I love kids books. I'm working the book fair at my kids school now and I can't. get. enough. of. those. books!!!
