T’was the night before Christmas and the Stockings are filled! Your job is done, relax! Summer is here and it is time to find some moments of quiet amongst the hustle to catch up on some reading. It is also the perfect time for the kids to unwind with some new books and to discover the joys of reading for fun and perfect for a break from the screen-time. I heart Book Depository – www.bookdepository.co.uk – because with a few clicks you can pick up some of the coolest kids books around all well below RRP and with FREE delivery worldwide to boot.
If you are planning a trip to the seaside then let me recommend Sandcastles made Simple – there are projects designed just for smaller kids, but if you are thinking big there are tips on making staircases, balconies, a roof and more.
If you are planning a camping trip then you might want to grab a copy of The Camping Cookbook by Annie Bell, there are lots of recipes that can be whipped up without electricity and with limited ingredients. If you have a boy in the house then the Guinness World Records will usually keep the occupied for a good length of time.
There’s also lots of great children’s fiction in store at Book Depository. For the little ones the illustrations in Bink & Gollie, A Sick Day for Amos McGee, and Children Make Terrible Pets are particularly noteworthy, all making the New York Times Bset Seller list for best childrens books of 2010.
Whatever you have planned for the Summer, hopefully you can enjoy some quiet time while the kids enjoy some time between the covers of a book or two.
