Never let your schooling interrupt your education.

A Lighthearted Summer Reading List for Kids (& Moms, Too!)

During the traditional school year, you’re probably a bit more stringent when it comes to allocating your time. After all, there’s so much to squeeze in: the lessons, the chores, the laundry, the meals, the extracurriculars–not to mention still having a teeny bit of free time left for yourself and the kids.

But when summer hits, everyone is ready for a little down time–nothing too strenuous or thought-consuming for a while. It’s the perfect time to fit in those books that you just never get around to during the rest of the year.

With those sentiments in mind, check out this lighthearted summer reading list. Read through the titles, print out this post, and take it with you the next time you head to the library.

So when the heat becomes oppressive and you need to escape, head to the library and stock up for free on hours of fun and entertainment.

Enjoy your week!
