Do you love Halloween? Do your kids/students? A couple of years ago I was lucky enough to share this book with you and today I am reviewing it again with its activity book! It has been interesting re-reading the book. It has been a while since I have re-read novels. The book is Mr. Moonbeam and the Halloween Crystal by Ryan Cowan, and it is accompanied by Mr. Moonbeam and the Halloween Crystal Activity Book/Novel Study Grades 3-5 also by Ryan Cowan. Now the book has 31 chapters, and the activity book has activity pages for each chapter, so this book is amazing for a countdown to Halloween! After my review is a giveaway!!

Books Featuring the Moon

 

Disclosure: I was sent copies of these books in order to provide honest reviews. All opinions are my own.

The moon has fascinated people for centuries. We see it play key roles in folktales from all over the world. Today we are sharing two books featuring the moon. One shares facts about the moon, and one is the retelling of a folktale. The book featuring facts about the moon has various flaps to lift to find out the facts. It is The Moon by Sandra Laboucarie and illustrated by Didier Balicevic. It is recommended for ages 4 to 6 but I would guess really 4 to 8 would enjoy it. 

Books for Younger Kids

Looking for some new books for younger kids? Today we have a collection of books that teach pet care, recovering from a mistake, the truth about cicadas and words perfect for helping those learning to read! The first is a board book called Kit and Her Cat by Meredith Walker. It is recommended for babies through age 5. Personally, unless the five-year-old is just learning to read I would recommend baby through 3.
