Join us for My First Book Club! Each week, we will read a chapter and do an activity together. In between meetings, your child (with or without assistance) will read a few chapters at home. Each child will receive their own copy of the book at the start of the first meeting.
This month we will be reading, The Miniature World of Marvin & James by Elise Broach.
In this Masterpiece Adventure, the first in a companion series for younger readers from bestselling author Elise Broach, James is going on vacation for a week. His best friend, Marvin the beetle, has to stay at home. Without James to keep him company, Marvin has to play with his annoying cousin, Elaine. Marvin and Elaine quickly find themselves getting into all sorts of trouble―even getting trapped inside a pencil sharpener! Marvin misses James and starts to worry about their friendship. Will James still be Marvin's friend when he gets home or will James have found a new best friend?
For children ages 5-8. Registering for the first date will register you for all April Book Club dates. Children will participate in book club independently, but parents must remain in the building.
