Reading Rundown, Reading Challenge!

Reading Rundown Reading Challenge! @dccomicskids @mackidsbooks @sammaggs @aishacs @candlewick @karalareau @Allison_Rushby

I’m also starting to come out of an overall blue period (like Picasso, but not as talented), so I’m hoping my blogging can keep up with my reading habits. Let’s give it…

Nick Jr's Rainbow Rangers come to bookshelves @ImprintReads @MacKidsBooks

Since my kids have gotten bigger, I find myself woefully out of the loop on what’s popular on Nick Jr. these days. Apparently, Wallykazam is not a thing anymore? Thank goodness for Paw Patrol, or I’d really feel out of touch. Anyway.

I’ve been going through my TBR as we sit in time out for a little while. Today’s picture book slam is all about books to read while enjoying the beautiful weather. Grab some books (they’re available via ebook – check your libraries or order from your indies; many have ebooks!), sit outside with your littles, and enjoy every moment.
