Meet our LOVE BOOKS Summer Participants!

Summer is here!  The first packages have started to arrive!  How cool is it that bloggers from all over the US and UK are sending and receiving very special packages. 

What are the packages full of?  BOOKS!

Here’s a Complete List of all 20 Picture Books and Activities for a Summer Full of Reading Fun!

Meet Our Love Books Participants for 2012

Each package contains a book and an activity for their children for some summer fun!  It’s our LOVE BOOKS Summer Book Exchange 2012! We are so excited to welcome 20 bloggers to this book exchange!  All month long they will be opening their mail boxes to find a special book to read with their children, create a project and share on their blogs.  Check out their sites to find books and activities to do at home with your children for summer reading or create your own swap with friends & family as you follow along!  

We would like to introduce you to all of our
