Summer’s here again. Summer holds different meaning for different people. For some, it’s vacation time. School’s out. College kids are home for an extended break. For many, it involves picnics, cook-outs, camping, boating, swimming, late nights enjoying precious moments with family and friends. And, don’t forget summer reading!
I just finishted the ReadMOre 2008 selection, Peter Pan and the Starcatchers trilogy, that Michael Bouman has been writing about over the last few months. These tales gave me a new interest and added depth to some of the characters that I remember from my youth. This summer, I’m excited to be able to share these stories with my nephews who are big Peter Pan fans. I also hope to get to several of the books about P.T. Barnum, Walt Disney Thomas Edison, and Margaret Mitchell recently recommended by our 2008 summer Chautauquans. I do like biographies!
So, what’s on your summer reading list? What books are you hoping to read and what books do you hope to share with your children this summer? We’d love to hear from you. We hope you will visit our blog and share your summer reading recommendations and stories. And be sure to check our othe READ from the START family reading website (announced below) where you will find ideas and opportunites for sharing the enjoyment of reading with the little ones in your family and community.
