[Surnetkids] Summer Reading

Dear Reader,

What are you doing on your summer vacation? We are traveling with friends from Oregon to the Adriatic to visit quite a few countries I’ve never been. New to me will be Greece, Croatia, and Montenegro. Do you know how many countries you’ve visited? Before this summer trip, I’ve been to (approximately) 39 countries. That sounds like a lot (to me) but I bet my daughter has me beat!

If you’d like to follow along with my travels, I will be posting pictures (when I can) to Facebook and Instagram.

See ya on the Net,

Beaches and books just seem to go together, but even if your summer plans do not include any beaches, hopefully it will still include some warm, lazy days curled up with a good book. To get you in the mood, I’ve corralled the following booklists for your family’s summer reading pleasure.

America Library Association: Notable Children’s Books

Each year the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) compiles a list of “notable” children’s books. “As applied to children’s books, notable should be thought to include books of especially commendable quality, books that exhibit venturesome creativity, and books of fiction, information, poetry and pictures for all age levels (birth through age 14) that reflect and encourage children’s interests in exemplary ways.”

Brightly: Summer Reading

Brightly, whose motto is “Raise Kids Who Love to Read”, is a project of Penguin Random House devoted to helping parents and educators “grow lifelong readers”. Their summer reading section includes book lists and tips for all ages and stages, from toddlers to teens. “Whether you’re enjoying storytime on a beach towel in the sun or indoors under the quiet hum of the air conditioner, these are our favorite books you won’t want to miss this summer.”

Goodreads

Owned by Amazon.com, Goodreads is a social network for readers over thirteen. As such, you’ll get more out of it if you create a free account, rate some books, and add some friends. My favorite Goodreads feature is the book recommendations organized by genre. Follow me and see what’s on my book shelf and night stand by clicking here.
