I love the idea of a book swap at school! I'm a librarian, what can I say? kristiedonelson(at)gmail(dot)com Thank you.
ReplyDeleteKristie, A book swap is a great idea! A "new" book is always a treasure -- whether it's second hand or brand new!
ReplyDeleteThese are great ideas! I'm a HUGE advocate of reading with your kids from a very young age--it can help in SO many ways when they get older!
ReplyDeleteI agree! The first novel I read to my daughter was when she was 4 (and I read other books to her from babyhood up!) Now she's 11 and writes her own stories allll the time!
