“Bailey” – Children’s Book Review + Giveaway

By /

My boys love to read and thanks to Scholastic Books, we recently had the opportunity to add BAILEY to our family book collection.  It is such a cute picture book and we loved reading out loud as a family.  My boys even read to each other!  BAILEY was written by New York Times bestselling author Harry Bliss.  You can purchase the book in stores and online, retailing for $16.99.  BAILEY is ideal for kids Ages 4-8, but all ages will love it as well.

BOOK SYNOPSIS

Meet Bailey, a dog who surprises and charms his fellow human classmates with his irrepressible antics.

Follow Bailey the dog as he gets ready and goes to school. Should he wear the red or blue collar? Both are so fashionable! Will he be late? That squirrel is a distraction! And what about Bailey’s homework? Would you believe he ate it? That is what dogs do, after all.

In this funny new book from the best selling children’s illustrator Harry Bliss, school proves to be an unexpected place for Bailey to do all sorts of things he loves: reading, fetching, painting, digging, singing — and making friends!

Be sure to check out the book trailer below!

    I always get excited to chaperone their fun field trips! And my kids are always excited to learn, I don’t have to do anything.

    To get my tweener in the mode, new clothes will do it every time. She loves trying new things and has a fun flair for it. As for my son, he’s just excited to see his friends again so it’s pretty easy with him.

    I like that I have six hours of quiet in the neighborhood (I don’t have kids around anymore).

    I love the Back-To-School shopping that comes with it, and that is what gets my kids excited. Being able to get a new outfit and buying all their supplies.

    One of my favorite parts of back to school is going shopping to buy all the new school supplies needed.

    I loved getting my daughter ready for her PreK year by picking out hair clips. She has so many hand-me-downs that we skipped buying new clothes.

    I love it when we go shopping for school clothes and supplies. There is something exciting about that new box of crayons or new shoes which makes it so much fun.

    My little girl hasn’t started school yet but I guess I’ll like the little bit of free time I’ll have when she’s on her way to school.
