by Angela V A new year brings some new books for us to enjoy. We recently got a delivery of books for the boys from the DK Readers collection from DK Canada.
The DK Readers collection has excellent books which have been carefully designed to help children at five levels of proficiency, and not to mention they are fun to read!
Here are the five books we got and our January book recommendations.
1. LEGO NINJAGO How To Be A Ninja: This fun LEGO NINJAGO book teaches children all about their favourite Ninja heroes–their training, weapons, skills, and amazing Spinjitzu powers. Kids will discover Kai, Nya, Lloyd, Jay, Cole, and Zane’s newest adventures in this book for children learning to read. Packed with colourful images from the latest LEGO NINJAGO sets and mini-figures, the book will help young fans of the LEGO NINJAGO TV series love reading.
The boys love everything LEGO and this book has become one of their favourites.

2. Hello Hedgehog: Packed full of fun facts and adorable hedgehog pictures, this children’s reading book is the perfect way to learn about, and celebrate, this much-loved creature.
In this chapter book for children, kids will learn how to help hedgehogs, why they have prickly spines covering their backs and all about their hibernation. These fascinating facts are paired with cute, high-quality photographs of hedgehogs, providing an ideal balance of words and images for children learning to read.
I am working on reading practice with our 6-yea-old, and, this book has been great for us to work on his reading together.

3. Moon Landings: Boost reading ability while learning about moon landings in this factual space book for children. Follow Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Apollo 11’s third crew member, Michael Collins, as they set off on one of history’s most important missions. Learn about the people and spacecraft that came before and have followed since, and discover what it takes to become an astronaut.
Moon Landings is a new title in the exciting and engaging four-level DK Readers series. Developing a lifelong love of reading, DK Readers cover a vast range of fascinating subjects featuring DK’s stunning photography, to support children as they learn to read. The series has been developed with the help of literacy experts.
The boys are both really into space, and this has been a great book with lots and lots of information and beautiful images.
