Don’t forgot to drop in a great board or picture book into the picnic basket or backpack as you head to the park this summer. They are a great way to entertain and engage with your kids as you lounge in this glorious weather.
Reading a book with tamariki provides awesome opportunities to explore, laugh and build bonds that come from conspiring over the antics of Hairy Maclary or Spot the dog. Maggie and I are looking at cheeky bears, foxes and chicks in this board book at Upper Riccarton Library.
Christchurch City Libraries Summertime Reading Club - Kōrero pukapuka ā te wā o raumati this year is for newborns to teens, covering ages from zero to 13 year olds. Developing language, a curious wonder of the world and love of reading - all come from the books we share right from when our children are babies. Plus there are great prizes to be won!
We will be here at the library all summer, so pop on down and grab a great book. Don’t forget to let us know which books made your day.
If you want some ideas, our Holiday Reading lists are highlight the best books of 2017, including picture books.
