So each Summer I enroll Charlie and I into the Summer Reading program at the library. As he has a chance to win prizes for reading. Plus it gets him into the spirit of wanting to visit the library which I like. The only thing I do not like about the program is that it is only during the Summer.
No usually I am bad and do not visit the Library the way we should. As everyone in the family should read. So for us I always pick up the magazines and books I want to read at Walmart. Which is not helping Charlie as there is times I can not afford a book for both of us. or he wants a toy and instead of arguing I let him get the toy and he does not have a book to read that week.
Plus I always use the excuse there is not enough hours in the day for him to read. Which is not true as you can take a book with you anywhere and you should. As a adult I do. Now why I do not make Charlie do the same things is a mystery to me.
But Charlies dad hates reading and can not read. So this is where Charlie gets a lot of I do not want to read. Or if Dad doesn't have to why should I? So I am trying to get away from that and find books they both would enjoy. This way Charlie can help his dad learn to read.
Plus it will help Charlie not only in school but in life as well. So today I would like to share a list of 27 books that has "Winter" in it. Because before we know it it will be here. So while it is hot outside you and your children can read these fun books and make plans for Winter!!!
The books are on another Bloggers site called Crystal and Co. and you can check them out at:

Once you do come back and let me know what you think of them. Had your children read any of them? Or was there any you saw you would like to read?
As Charlie and I are going to find them in our Library and see how long it takes us to read all of them. Plus I want to see how many Charlie can read on his own without help from me or David.
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
