One of the best ways to gear kids up for school is to get them reading. It develops vocabulary, fosters creative thinking, and builds mental focus. Sometimes getting kids to read is easier said than done. If a child refuses to read, what's a desperate parent to do?
"Well, there ain't no cure for the summertime blues," goes the song. I beg to differ! Now may be the perfect time to cheer up with a laugh out loud book. I love to cuddle up and share some laughs with the kids. It makes all of us instantly feel better, no matter how lousy the day. If the kids feel like reading on their own, that works too.
These quality books are not only clever and well written, but are just downright funny.
