Come and join the hunt here
These photos were taken last October 2008 at Yohan's school during their Jurassic Book Fair. I support school activities like this one because it draws students and families to appreciate the wonderful world of books.
Below is my son (wearing a hat) looking at the books on display. I don't mind buying him books because different kinds of literature foster his interest and love for reading.

I enjoy going to activities like these too :) reading and the love of books should be taught early on :)
wonderful! teach kids early on to appreciate books, it will pay off when they grow up.
Good take on the theme and what a fun thing to do as well both for parents and child
It's good to orient the kids to love of reading. Which books did Yohan get? =)
In my son's school they have a book fair like this too twice a year and it's so nice to see kids who have interest in books. And like you I don't mind buying my son any books too... A great way to enhance their love for reading...
Aloha!

I buy lots of picture books for my son when he was young. Now with a computer, he has lost interest in books. :(
Hi Rach! My daughter's school hold book fairs too several times a year. I let her buy books she wants also as a support to her love for books.
Why is it Jurassic Book Fair? All about remnants, fossils and the like?
@Lynn: Jurassic era was the theme of the book fair. The kids were asked to go to school in archaeologist get-up. :) They had exploration activities. It was a fun day. The books sold had diverse subjects.
You couldn't have stated that better...."the wonderful world of books"
Mine this week is my high school year book with me...LOL
Happy weekend.
Nice post for today's theme. I like the photos of the kids.
happy weekend!
Anything that brings books to children and children to books is a great idea. Happy weekend
That is pretty place for my son hehhe. Happy weekend. Mine is ready.
it's good that your son loves to read.
Great take on the theme and I think school book fairs are so important. They used to have them when my daughter was growing up too.
Yes, reading should be encouraged at an early age. I know why Yohan is wearing a hat. He is dressed for the theme, Jurassic!
Loved this post... I think all children should love books... When I learned to read... everything opened up to me... I love Books!
activities like that are really good for kids, it will help develop their little minds. =)
Wonderful post! I'd love to have gone to this. I can never have too many books for my boys. I enjoy them as much as they do! Awesome!
This is a great activity, Rachel! :)
I love bookfairs. One of my mom friends at the kids old school would run them 2x a year and I helped work them. I'll tell ya, we have A LOT of books here. That's one thing I never skimped on for the kids. Let them read as much as they want! I love books!
I loved the book fairs at my kids' schools, and they loved picking out their own books. Your son looks very serious about his selection. Fun photos.
My son was a real bookworm... he couldn't have enough of books... then he discovered the PC...the internet...etc... and he forgot his first love!
buying books for the boys is already a part of our family's budget bec that's what we got for them whenever they deserve a prize. :)
U remind me of a book fair which I'd to forgo today because I had errands to run. Sigh.
Great take on the theme! I also bought loads of books to my son when he was little and that has made such a difference.
After seeing all the lovely books and shops today.. I am definitely going to the library's book sale in a few weeks.
My books are up here.
I send books to my great nieces all the time. Such a wonderful gift to give...I think. It opens the world to their little minds.
Hope you are doing well.
Have a great week.
Hugs,
It's great to see all those children enjoying the pleasure of reading. It truly is the start of a great adventure
I have over 500 books. I hope B will love books as much as I do. I really do. Reading is one of the best things ...
i really am happy to see book fairs because this reminds me of my own times that made me like reading so much.
Good for you for supporting school activities. Book fairs are great. It helps encourage the love of reading early on.
This one is a great activity.
