TRAVEL BY BOOK! - STORY AND ACTIVITIES

Lots of families travel during the summer. But maybe this year you have no such plans. Instead, this week, you can visit Egypt, Australian, Africa, Europe (with Spiderman), get a close look at airplanes or travel with animal characters just by reading a book. Books highlighted this week are a few of the wonderful items that help you travel to and experience new people, places and things!

READ ALOUD: We’re Sailing Down the Nile by Laurie Krebs and Anne Wilson. Check out Hoopla, available on the library’s website, to enjoy a selection of great travel books online!

VIDEO: Egypt: Pyramids-Are We There Yet? National Geographic Kids. Joanna and Julia journey to Egypt to see the world famous pyramids and Great Sphinx. On their adventure, they ride camels, participate in a dig, read hieroglyphics and explore the inside of a pyramid.
