We first off want to congratulate Summer Birchall for winning “When I Grow Up” by the one and only “Weird Al” Yankovic! We loved reading all of your inspiration resolutions, and we think this next book echo’s the same ideas!

This week’s book is  ”Little by Little”  co-authored by Amber Stewart & Layn Marlow.  This tells the story of a very determined otter, named Otto who wants to learn to swim.  His wise sisters teach him to start small, and that “little by little”, he will reach his goal!  A great book teaching children the value of hard work and perseverance, it’s a essential book for your family’s personal library.  Comment by Wednesday, January 23rd telling us something you’ve achieved by determination and dedication. Good luck!

This time of year is full of goals and resolutions, and we’d like to join in on the bandwagon! What better way to start off 2013 than to commit to spending more time reading with our children. Studies show that reading at early stages of life initiate creativity, expand knowledge, and promote an overall positive learning experience.  That being said, we’d like to help by starting up our Reading Wednesdays again!

Our first book giveaway will be one we’re sure you and your family will enjoy! “When I Grow Up” by the one and only “Weird Al” Yankovic tells the story of Billy and his fellow classmates, and their wild ideas of careers as an adult, some including growing up to become a snail trainer or even a sumo wrestler.  A great story inviting readers of all ages to consider what they want to be when they grow up, it’s definitely one you will enjoy again and again! Would you like to win this book for your own personal library?  Comment by Tuesday, January 15th (on our blog or Facebook) telling us one of your own resolutions for the new year.  Check back on Wednesday, January 16th to see if you’ve won.  Good luck!
