School is (nearly) out and there’s no homework
to be done: whatever are you going to do for two months? 😉 Here are a few bookish ideas to try…
It’s free
and open to all children. Register to get your own Summer Stars Reading Card, choose
from lots of exciting library books and get your card stamped for each book
read. Fun rewards will be provided along the way. And at the end of the
programme, the library throws a party! More info.
Don’t worry, it doesn’t involve injections or
anything nasty. The Book Doctor is someone who can give you new book ideas if
you’ve read all of the Wimpy Kid or
all of Harry Potter or all of the Rainbow Magic books and are stuck for
what to pick up next. There are lots of Books Clinics all over Ireland during
the summer, find out where on the Children’s Books Ireland website.
Are you going anywhere interesting this summer? Or
do you wish to visit a faraway country? Why not look for a book written in that
place? The website Outside In World lists all the kids’ books from around the
world that have been translated into English. Just pick a country on the map
and off you go! More info.
Read the
books that inspired these new feature films: Diary of a Wimpy Kid! Captain
Underpants! Valerian! (You
probably don’t know this last one: it’s a series of awesome French comics about
time-travel and space, highly recommended!)
Write your own book!
