READING RECOMMENDATIONS
by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Score! Another great novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid (Daisy Jones and the Six, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo). This one is set in Malibu, in 1983, with flashbacks to the 1960’s. It's a terrific beach read about surfing and family drama, including an absentee celebrity father (Mick Riva from Hugo) and the fallout that causes for four siblings. 
The party of the year is about to happen, and the tension rises as the plot comes together. 
I loved the entertaining 80’s references and emotional connections between the characters.

A book about the making of everyone's favorite movie ever? As you wish! 
I absolutely recommend listening to the book, narrated by Cary Elwes (Wesley), which also includes bits from Rob Reiner, Mandy Patinken, Robin Wright, Billy Crystal, and many more from the film. The behind-the-scenes stories of laughter (Mandy Patinkin’s only on-set injury was bruised ribs from laughing), logistics, and the filming process made me love this movie all over again. What a beautiful testament to one of the best classic films and the people who made it happen.

If your grade school child likes geography and the outdoors, this book is perfect! Enjoy the beautiful photographs and illustrations all while learning interesting facts. Who knows? Maybe you’ll plan your next vacation after looking at this book.
It's a fun way to explore the United States and all its natural beauties!

Another good book for your preschooler by acclaimed author Mem Fox. A little boy goes on a search of his farm to find something to eat for breakfast. Just enough text leaves each page open for discussion with your little listener. What could he be looking for? He walks by farm vehicles, haystacks, and an assortment of farm animals. Finally, it all becomes clear as he ends up right back at his house and the words, “Well, YOU knew all along….,” make your own little one feel so smart! This book is sure to be a hit with the 2-6 age group.
