More Summer Reading July

After today another month will be gone. This summer has raced by. Sometimes I have felt like I have been always on the go; taking my son to various birthday parties, doctor appointments, swimming lessons and the beloved parks. We have not taken a family trip this year due to financial circumstances. We have journeyed to various places through books. Have been able to extend the nature around us in books, for example the book about butterflies and another book about Fibonacci numbers. The world is a fascinating place. We have learned how things work with the book, How Cool Is That?

Before I have to send these books back to the library, I thought I would jot down the list of books we found at the base library a few weeks ago. Most of these books are about science. My son has a new fascination about turtles. So, we checked out several books about turtles. I hope this list of books will inspire you to find these titles or other similar books. Enjoy!

Books Reading in July With My Son

Here are some books I am reading to my son during the month of July. He especially enjoys stories that are funny. Like a lot of children, he enjoys stories that are about animals. Hope you enjoy reading through the titles.

Recently my son had an anaphylactic reaction to an allergy shot. I had been looking for children's books about allergies. A couple of holds became available recently. The titles are How to Deal with Allergies and The BugaBees friends with food allergies.

Perhaps I have listed a book that you have not already shared with your child. Enjoy your summer reading. Now that it is July, it won't be long until school is back in session. Hope this list of books inspires you to go on a book journey with your child during the summer months especially.

These books we found at the city library.
