What better way to kick off summer than with food? With just a few days into the start of Summer Reading Club, our theme “Reading is So Delicious” continues to delight.

Stories we shared

Dragons Love Tacos by Adam Rubin

Little Pea by Amy Krouse Rosenthal

Flannelboard

The flannel board story is based on Oliver Jeffers’ picture book The Incredible Book Eating Boy.  Not necessarily about food per se, but certainly amplifies our theme of Reading is So Delicious!

The story is about Henry who loves to eat books.
