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!
