by Angela V During the Summer break, our boys spend a lot of time reading. We are building our home library and reference books and encyclopedias are always a welcome addition to our collection.
Below we are sharing 5 books to add to your home library. We recently added them to ours and they are all great for school age children. Our 6-year-old loves history and the Eyewitness books keep him busy and happy reading for hours.
