12 Must Read Summer Books for Kids

Summer is in full swing and we are finally getting around to picking up summer themed books to read. We have a large home book collection but only 1 book about summer. So off to Amazon.com I went! Check out the books that we are picking up for the summer below. 

12 Must Read Summer Books For Kids - TheDailyAprilnAva

One Hot Summer Day is a favorite of ours and is a fun book about a little girl attempting to play outside in the uncomfortable summer heat.  I love that this book is illustrated with photographs.

 

1. One Hot Summer Day by Nina Crews 

 5. Summer is Here by Heidi Pross Gray
6. Summer Days and Nights by Wong Herbert Yee
7. The Night Before Summer Vacation by Natasha Wing
8. The Last Day of Kindergarten by Nancy Loewen


We have a daily goal of reading at least 5 books a day. Sometimes it's the same book over and over but mostly we read different books all day. Having this daily goal is beneficial to Ava's learning and she really enjoys reading.

    My children have been reading a mix of everything. I got a Kindle for them this summer that is treated like a library. They each have their own profile on it and can check out a book from the Kindle Library and they read. It's been a life saver!

    I love the 5 books a day goal! As a toddler mom AND a teacher, that just makes me smile! Pete the Cat books are so fun! I love that you also include nonfiction. That is so important, even at very young ages! Your tip about it being okay to read the same books over and over is really great, too. That really helps those little ones build their fluency.

    My 4 year old is SUPER into reading, so we're always on the lookout for new books to read to her. I'm adding these to our list for the next library run!

    We love Pete the Cat! My son sings the songs and it is adorable. I love tying books in to what we are doing too. I have found it makes my kids so much more interested in it! Great idea with the summer books.

    Great advice. I love reading to my little one as she is only 8 months. I'll be happy to have her read these when she's older

    These all look like great books! That is a great goal to read 5 each day! We usually get close to that but right now we are stuck on the same two books.

    Pete the Cat is a huge favorite at my house! My older kids are really enjoying The Name of this Book is Secret and the others in that series and my younger daughter loves the rainbow fairy books. I love that they enjoy reading!

    I love "And Then Comes Summer" by Tom Brenner. Stories of this author is one of the best ways to absorb your child in reading and studying.
