One of the things that we did with Liam and are now doing with Colm to get everyone thinking about kindergarten is to read a bunch of books about kindergarten. Some of our favorites are: Off to Kindergarten, A Place Called Kindergarten, Welcome to Kindergarten, Kindergarten Rocks, The Night Before Kindergarten, Kindergarten Countdown and Countdown to Kindergarten to name a few.

This month’s pics for our neighborhood kid book club are The War with Grandpa by Robert Smith and Stink and the World’s Worst Super Stinky Sneakers by Megan McDonald. The first book is about a boy who loses his bedroom when his grandpa comes to live with him and how he declares war on his grandpa to get it back. Very sweet and cute book and it’s nice to see the relationship between the grandpa and his grandson. Stink is just a silly book about a boy who has super stinky sneakers. He and his best friend enter a stinky sneaker contest and you might be surprised who wins. (Stink is Judy Moody’s little brother if you are familiar with those books.)
