Virtual Book Club for Kids took a little hiatus over the holidays and we are excited to be back for 2014! If you missed our author list for 2013-2014, check it out here. Each month we will feature a new author and we will share activities and crafts inspired by their books!
In January we will be featuring books by Laura Numeroff
!
Have you read any of these books by Laura Numeroff? If so, which ones are your favorites?
My kids currently are loving these three books.
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie- My 15 month old just carries this one around saying his version of cookie... hoping I'll give him one.
If You Give a Moose a Muffin
- My kiddos (5 and 3) are obsessed with muffins and could eat them daily. This book cracks them up and gets them salivating for muffins too.
If You Give a Cat a Cupcake
- My 5-year-old can read this book now and is so proud of himself. He needs some help but the illustrations are perfect for young readers and keep them engaged and also help give them hints while trying to read the words.
This month we'll be sharing some Laura Numeroff book inspired activities here, over on Toddler Approved, and on several other blogs. Stay tuned for a post on January 13th. If you'd like to join in, here's what you need to do...

My kids (both my own and those I've taught) LOVE these books, and so do I! I have a fun If You Give a Moose a Muffin activity I'll be sure to come back and share!
I love Laura Numeroff! Can't wait to share ideas!
We are going to do an activity based on "What Grandmas do best"
Oliver and I had a whale of a time putting together an activity for If You Give a Mouse a Cookie!
Can't wait to do activities with If you Give a
Dog a Doughnut". My daughter loves this author!!!
We used a new family favorite "What Brothers Do Best" to create something we'd been thinking about for a while. Thanks for giving us a good reason to do it!
