Thanks Maggy! We were so impressed by everyone's creativeness with the crafts they shared with their books. Hope your readers enjoy too.
We've had a lot of fun MaryAnne, hopefully next time you'll join us!
I was figuring it out and truthfully you could probably spend the rest of the year with a book a week and have everything planned already for you and your children. Great resources! Thanks for participating!
Thank you so much for participating, we loved watching what you and Make Do Friends sent to each other in the UK. Great selections and activities.
Rebecca I'm so glad you love the project, we did too. I'm so glad we even reached to the UK this summer with our exchange!
I'm so glad you joined us, thank you for your adorable ideas for Stars and Stripes! Your site is such a great resource for even more books.
A great selection of books! Wonderful. Some firm favourites, as well as new ones for us to explore.
Thank you for sharing on Kids Get Crafty!

We had so much fun both making a package and receiving one, can't wait to do it again
