Growing a Reader: Kids' Books, Tips and More

"On my first library visit, my librarian gave to me…a library card just for me!"

And then she sang me this song with a lot of strange suggestions about things that she said I could read: Blocks? Crayons?! Bananas?!! How can you read those things and can you really borrow them from the library?

Sing along to the tune of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" and click the hidden links to discover the librarian's book suggestions.

 "On my twelfth library visit, my librarian suggested I read:

12 Facts a-Fooling

11 Blocks for Building

10 Heffley Writings

9 "Cows" a-Smiling

8 Crayons Returning

 7 Magic Weasleys

6 Folded Yodas

5 Golden Apples

4 Ban-an-as

3 French Toast

2 Best Buds

And this song done much better you'll see!
