Book Lists by Theme
One of the easiest ways to engage kids in reading is to share activities and stories on subjects they are already interested in. When you’re asked to find a book about subject X, a book list can be a helpful tool. They can make it easy to find some tried-and-true books on a given subject. Collectively, the links below offer you ideas for just about every subject imaginable.
Caveat: We have books about summer, but we don’t have summer book lists.
