Pirates Past Noon (Magic Tree House Book Club)

Pirates Past Noon is the fourth book in the Magic Tree House Series by Mary Pope Osborne. Our Pre-K Book Club enjoyed this book! The host mom started off the morning by reviewing the book and giving the kids eye patches. Then some of the kids did a Make-A-Pirate Sticker Scene while the others went for a treasure hunt. When the first group was done with the treasure hunt the next group went. The kids then had a pirate snack and played a “Shipwreck” game. So fun! Stay tuned for books 5-8 in the months to come!

"The Littles" Book Club

This summer a group of moms and our incoming first graders will be having a book club! We will be reading 3 books to our kids (one for each month of June, July and August). Each book is the first one in a separate series so that the kiddos can see if they like that series or not (and if they do there are many more to read in that series)! The books are all about a 3-4th grade reading level which is a bit above their reading levels and makes for a great book read aloud.

The first book in our book club this summer was “The Littles” by John Peterson. It is about a super cute family of little people that live inside the walls of the big people’s house. They have many fun adventures as you can imagine! 

Hornet (6yr old) and I liked “The Littles” so we continued to read more in the series. While with some series it does not matter which order you read them in, I think that “The Littles” are best read in their correct order. There is some discrepancy in the order so check out both here and here and choose!

Before the date of the book club meeting, each mom read the book aloud to their child. Then we met at a park, reviewed the book, played “The Littles” Search and Find and lastly played Mice and Littles Hide and Seek. Fun was had by all!
