Would you like to join our summer picture book club? The new york public library chose the 100 picture books every child should know. Just read (or have read to you) 25 of these books and have a parent check them off. Bring the list to Mrs. Monkkonen in the library the first week of school and we'll celebrate with an ice cream party! Happy Reading
