It’s Virtual Book Club for Kids time of the month again and this months Author is David Shannon – this is another new to me author and we had a lot of trouble decided which book we wanted to read from the many on Amazon this month. In the end we choose (this is an affiliate link) A Bad Case of Stripes. A bad case of Stripes – Tape Resist Art With a fantastic moral behind the story about being true to yourself it’s a wonderful book for kids. J and T didn’t quite get the meaning of 
Childhood is wonderful and bringing stories alive through crafts and activities is by far our favourite way to engage with early literacy. Last week saw the first ever Poppins Book Nook and it was wonderful to see so many of the activities linked up to Tuesday Tots so this week I’m featuring Knights Castles and Dragons Activities based on books brought to live by the bloggers of the Poppins Books Nook that linked up to Tuesday Tots.

We’re joining in with another Book Club – this time organised by Jill at Enchanted HomeSchooling Mom and this first month kicks off with the theme – Knights, Princesses and Castles so we’ve spent some time reading some of our knightly tales. Sir Charlie Stinky Socks We discovered Sir Charlie Stinky Socks in the autumn and have continued to love the books – by far our favourite is Sir Charlie Stinky Socks and the Tale of Two Treasures with an adventure to discover treasure mistaken read more of Sir Charlie Stinky Socks Series by Kristina Stephenson – Poppins Book Nook 
Sharing a Shell Small World Play This months virtual book club for kids author is Julia Donaldson – I hope you could read my smile in there – it’s one of our favourite authors and there was so many books to choose from – with the virtual book club for kids running for a month we hope to get in a few more books. But we’re starting off with Sharing a Shell. Sharing a shell is one of our all time favourite Julia Donaldson books – it combines my love of marine life with fabulous rhyming language and fun illustrations. 
It’s here – yes I have a copy and it’s as wonderful as I would have hoped it was – what you may ask well Red Ted Art’s book – Red Ted Art: Cute and Easy Crafts for Kids of course my most awaited read of the year. Jam packed with Crafts for kids from Toddlers to young adults (over 60 projects) there is something for everyone. I am one for crafting with my kids – but I also do a lot of crafting for them and when T was flicking through the book as she sat on read more of Red Ted Art Book – Cute and Easy Crafts for Kids 
Sharing a Shell by Julia Donaldson is another of our read often books. It sits on J’s bedside table – a tale of 3 friends who find each other in a rock pool. I absolutely love this story and the rhythm and rhyme to the words used – I’ve recently discovered a video of Julia Donaldson singing it (our home copy doesn’t have a CD with it) and T and I will sit and watch and listen to it during quiet time. With a hermit crab, a anemone and a bristle worm I must say that it’s my favourite of read more of Sharing a Shell – a book a day 
Although this month we are mainly reading Julia Donaldson today would have been Dr Seuss’ 109th birthday so today it’s There’s a Wocket in my Pocket by Dr Seuss. This is a fantastic book full of made up rhyming words a wocket in my pocket, a findow in my window and a gellar in the cellar. J absolute loves this and we have spent many many hours since reading There’s a Wocket in my Pocket making up other creatures that we could have in different places around the house. From having never read Dr Seuss to J or T back
