Dinosaur Week!

It's Dinosaur Week here at Books Everywhere! That means everyday we'll be learning about dinosaurs and doing special activities centered around our theme. We'll read about different kinds of dinosaurs, make our own dinosaurs from paper and paint, and even make our own jurassic volcano erupt. Stay tuned for more fun activities!

Here is a list of books we will be using this week:

- Dinosaur Fun for art

- First Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs - great for history, geography, and science; includes lots of illustrations and simple text as well as lots of free internet links to do more activities online

- 'Foaming Monster' experiment from 50 Science Things to Make and Do - we will make a volcano instead of a monster
- How Big is a Million? for math

- There are tons of other fun dinosaur books that we won't have time to use this week, but you can look them up here if you want to get a dinosaur sticker book, learn how to draw dinosaurs, or gift a dinosaur board book to your little one!

Dinosaur Fun

Who doesn't want to have fun with dinosaurs? Seriously. The book Dinosaur Fun is an easy-to-follow activity book for preschoolers that shows them how to create their very own dinosaurs step-by-step using materials that are easy to find. It is a hard back book with heavy, sturdy pages. Instructions are provided for making 11 different dinos - practically an entire ecosystem. Grab it for yourself. You'll be happy you did the next you're stuck inside with your four-year-old! Oh yeah, in addition to being great fun, the activities will help to develop important skills such as hand control, coordination and concentration.

Baby's Very First Noisy Book: Farm

This is a brand new title for Fall 2013! This book is perfect for your little one. The pictures are bright and vibrant, yet simple. My favorite feature of this book is that the sounds it makes are soothing and soft, not loud and startling like many noisy books are. This noisy farm book is a solid board book with big tabs so your baby can easily turn the pages. Perfect for your baby or as a baby shower gift for a friend!

Wind-Up Tractor Book

Seriously, guys. Seriously. This is one of the most amazing books I have ever seen! It's a book, yes, but it's so interactive that your child will be engaged for hours with it. It has a tractor that winds up and runs along tracks in the book. It also has 30 character pieces that you can stand up along the track. Your child will enjoy listening to you read the stories as he/she sets up the pieces that go along with it. They will also entertain themselves as they use the stand up characters to retell and act out the stories. This is a fabulous book that goes along well with The Complete Book of Farmyard Tales.

This book is also available in the Wind-Up Starter Collection

Books in this series include: Wind-Up Pirate Ship, Wind-Up Plane Book, Wind-Up Race Cars, Wind-Up Train Book

Busy Bug Book

This is such a cute book! It is the pull-back series so it has a little ladybug on wheels that winds up and whizzes around a track on each page. There is a fun story that follows the track as well as an activity on each page for the child to do. This is a very interactive and engaging book that is a must-have for bug-lovers.
