A picture book could teach anyone something new. They are often full of little facts that surprise even the most educated and enlightened adults. Just another reason to make story time a regular part of your routine! #readingwithkids

Have you seen our list of 13 books that feature soup or stew? Why not read one (or a few) and get cooking? buff.ly/3FulVtx

Why should kids read poetry? One reason is that poetry encourages creativity. It is often a child's first introduction into the world of art, and may inspire them to explore other areas of creative expression. Not sure where to start? Why not one of these? #poetry #poetryforkids

Sometimes a quick story quenches your thirst like a gulp from the sink. Other times a long steady read is needed to sink deep into the soil of your heart, like the snow and rains of winter. Neither is better than the other. It all depends on the reader! #kidlit

Great nativity books to share with loved ones this Christmas, and some discussion and activity ideas to go with them! buff.ly/3GuQlMr #ChristmasBooks #NativityBooks #ReadDiscussDo #Christmas #kidlit

Even if there's no snow outside, you can still snow it up with some charming picture books! #snowbooks #letitsnow #kidlit #readingwithkids

We hope this list of books will help you appreciate winter and make it a happy season of rest, reading, and maybe learning something new about snowflakes! buff.ly/422hZKI #snowflakebooks #winterreads #ReadDiscussDo #readingwithkids
