Only 25 days until Christmas. We can’t believe it! In addition to the decorations, we're pulling out the holiday books. Find out what our five favorite classics are and how to make them a fun part of your holiday traditions.
Last year, Allie and the girls had front row seats to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade march down Broadway. This year, like many of us, they'll watch from the comfort of their couch. But no matter how you experience the magic of the parade, they discovered a must-read book on the story behind the balloons. It's a great way for your kids to learn some history and connect with others at Thanksgiving.
A visit to a fairy garden has inspired the girls to create their own. Put on your fairy wings and prepare to be transported through pictures of their adventure. Soon you'll be discussing plans for your own fairy garden.
Halloween is a week away! What are your little readers dressing up as? Are they literary inspired?

It's the first day of autumn! Ease the transition with a book that talks about all the seasonal changes that happen as summer turns into fall. Then celebrate with a nature walk and scavenger hunt.
Allie and the girls put together a collection of baby board books for the newest member of their family. They've picked all their favorites. Take a look at their list. Are any your favorites?
Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey is one of our favorite books. As part of their New England summer, Allie and the girls make deeper connections with the book by picking blueberries and making a pie.
