The calendars are perfect for families with preschoolers through grade 1!

Each week a theme is introduced with a wonderful children’s book. If families can’t find the main title, there are three alternative book ideas each week.  Then, there are 5 easy to do activities included with each theme.  Activities include literacy, math, art, science,
and character education ideas.  Families can do any activities that fit their schedule.

The set includes copies in black & white AND color.  Book choices include newly released titles, multicultural books, and non-fiction selections.  Alternative book selections include three book recommendations.   Exciting, right?
