April Parent Child Book Club Books

We have another great set of books to talk about in our Parent/Child Book Clubs! For the Mother/Daughter Book Club we are going to talk about the book The Mother-Daughter Book Club by Heather Vogel Frederick. For the Mother/Son Book Club we are going to talk about the book Soar by Joan Bauer.



I can’t help but giggle at the title of the next Mother/Daughter Book Club book. I mean, if we have a Mother/Daughter Book Club how can we not read and discuss the book The Mother-Daughter Book Club?!? This book is about a group of moms and their daughters who get together to talk about the book Little Women. The girls don’t think they really have all that much in common—but though this book club they find out that they just might have a few similarities. Of course there is drama and books and relationship craziness; however, there is also a lot to learn when girls and their moms get together to talk about books and how they relate to life. I am pretty excited that we get to talk about this book next!



The boys and their grownups are going to discuss the book Soar by Joan Bauer. Jeremiah has just received a heart transplant—which is hard enough. However, Jeremiah loves baseball—and now he can’t play because of his recent surgery. When Jeremiah and his dad move to a new town Jeremiah decides he will do the next best thing (besides playing on a baseball team), he will become a baseball coach. Only, with a town that has had a scandal and is ready to give up on baseball, this is harder than it sounds. From surgery to being a new kid to baseball and sports there will be plenty to talk about at the next Mother/Son Book Club!

Review: The Mixed-Up Owl

The Mixed-Up Owl  Written by Marzena Sowa Illustrated by Joanna Lorno New York : Hippo Park, 2025. Picture Book. When Owl can't sleep at night, he heads off to see if any forest animals can help him understand why, and even more so, how to fix it!  Unfortunately, all the animals Owl runs into at night are asleep and all the animals he meets during the day are too rude or too busy to answer him.  Will Owl give up or will a chance meeting with a grumpy hedgehog provide all the solutions Owl was looking for? The premise of an owl trying to stay awake during the day because all the other animals around him do is very fun. Kids who know that owls are nocturnal will get a kick out of Owl's confusion and be quick to try to tell him what's going on.  Readers who don't know many facts about owls (or nocturnal animals in general) will get a brief introduction to the different ways animals sleep. The illustrations are charming, especially cute Owl and his expressive body langua...
