Book Group Post 5: April continues 560's - 580's and in May we talked about JP family books

In April we talked about the following books in the 560's to 580's section of the library:


  • Once Upon a Mastodon: All About Prehistoric Mammals by Worth
  • Cactus Hotel by Guiberson
  • Plants Can't Sit Still by Hirsch
  • Living Sunlight: How Plants Bring the Earth to Life by Bang
  • Because of An Acorn by Schaefer
  • Dinosaur Tracks by Zoehfeld
  • The Mangrove Tree: Planting Trees to Feed Families by Roth
We had an ecosystem organization chart handout and bags of chips.

Then in the May book group we listened to the audio version of A Day In the Life of Marlon Bundo by Twiss and we discussed these other books about families:

  • Families, Families, Families by Lang
  • Nighty Night! by Wild
  • The Family Book by Parr
  • And Tango Makes Three by Richardson
  • I Love It When You Smile by McBratney
There are so many other wonderful family books-some other suggestions that I've received include the following titles: Zak's Safari, The Relatives Came, Owl Babies, Does a Kangaroo Have a Mother Too?, One Big Family, Over the Moon, Froggy's Baby Sister, My Family Tree and Me, Two Is Enough, and many others.

And, I wanted to share this link from Real Simple for some fun family activities from cooking together to making a time capsule: https://www.realsimple.com/work-life/family/family-activities
