Welcome to Litsy!

Such a beautiful story. These books get me right in the feels. As a parent though the kids had me cringing big time - their attempts to help! 🤦🏼‍♀️😅😳 not helpful 😐🤣 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The third book about the Vanderbeekers and just as delightful as the others.

This time the kids manage to destroy their moms approval to have a bakery at home. As they try to fix this, someone keeps leaving pets at their door causing more problems.

This is not my favorite in the Vanderbeeker series.

Ahh the Vanderbeekers. My kids have started this funny chant when they want to read some: Mo‘ Van-do-bee-ko! Mo‘ Van-do-bee-ko! 🤣 #howjessreads2021 #readaloud #raisingreaders

I really like books with maps in them. 🥰

1. Middle grade book but very cute
2. I was born in the morning and then my dad was a good day. Lol
3. For the Olympics - winter sports - in real life - summer
4. @Coleen_Nieto thanks for being an “ear” over the summer and reaching out! I will email very soon! #friyayintro @howjessreads @4thhouseontheleft

Once again, home run with the Vanderbeekers! We all really enjoyed this installment and now we have to wait until September for the 4th. 😭 nooooooo.

Pictured are the chocolate caramel sea salt cookies character Oliver is obsessed with - they are tasty but really sweet & chewy with the caramel bits. Perfect for kids!

I didn‘t quite love it as much as book one, but then it‘s really hard to live up to that. This is really very excellent middle grade novel - kids on a quest to fix a problem they created. Lovely chaos.

Latest library hold to come in!

It's finally here!

Anyone else have really slow library systems? I was the first one to put a hold on this before it came out. It was released September 17. But it took my library this long to get it into circulation! They get really popular books out right away, but everything else seems to take at least a month. I find it very annoying!

We began our new read aloud last night and the first chapter doesn‘t disappoint! Karina‘s pacing is perfect to keep kids‘ attention and the characters are so personable & relatable. This series has the best covers!. 😁

Exciting new book mail! Daughter immediately confiscated Guts and the Vanderbeekers will be our next read aloud whenever we finally finish Restart (which we‘re liking). It takes us a long time to get thru a book a chapter at a time. They are just so pooped by bedtime. 😴

I absolutely love (like hardcore love) this series. Everything about it is wonderful, and I recommend them to anyone with kids. Third book arrived on my nook and I‘m ready to jump in.

Lots of love on Litsy for this series. I believe this is book 3??
