Weekly Virtual Book Club for Kids 2017-2018 Book List

Are you ready to start our weekly preschool book club again this year? The Virtual Book Club  for Kids is organized by Toddler Approved, Rainy Day Mum, and The Educators’ Spin On It and co-hosted by several bloggers including myself. Each week, we’ll be sharing books and activities around a special theme.  Will you join us?

Weekly Virtual Book Club for Kids

Each Monday we’ll be sharing activities to go along with a favorite children’s book. The ideas are intended for ages 2-5, but you can modify many of them for varying ages. To join us, read the book of the week. Then, try out some of the activities or create your own. You can also join our Weekly Virtual Book Club for Kids Facebook group. This closed Facebook group is a great place to get activity ideas, book recommendations, and share what you’re doing with us. Only members of the group can see what is shared, so join us!

2017-2018 Book List

Most often we check out the featured books from local library. I’ve included Amazon affiliate links (the book cover and title) so you can read more about the books and add them to your collection if you want. I get commissions for purchases made through the affiliate links.

This is the sixth year we will be joining The Virtual Book Club for Kids. Click here to see all of our previous posts for the Virtual Book Club for Kids. It has been one of my favorite things. My kids always love doing activities inspired by the book we read. The Virtual Book Club is a fabulous way to find new books I probably wouldn’t have checked out on my own and to revisit timeless favorites. I do hope you’ll join in with us.
