by Angela V I can’t believe Halloween is just around the corner, and we are getting close to the holiday season. This year is going by fast friends. So fast!
Today I am happy to be sharing our top five book picks from DK Books Canada for October. We got some great educational books for the kids, a fun LEGO book and I even got something for myself.
Full book descriptions below. Happy Reading this month!
Looking for screen-free activities for your kids and more quality time together? This innovative LEGO® bedtime book includes eight adventures to build, play, and read, and it comes with LEGO bricks and instructions to make eight exclusive mini LEGO models. The LEGO® Book of Bedtime Builds is perfect for creative, screen-free wind-down time before bed.
Choose and build your LEGO model. Then read the story together and decide what happens next. When it’s time to sleep, the mini model and story will inspire exciting dreams. The next night, take apart the mini model and choose another adventure to build and read together. Convenient brick storage and packaging make for easy building at home or on the go. Includes easy-to-follow building instructions, bricks, and stories featuring a pirate ship, dinosaur, robot, bird, castle, elephant, spider, and spaceship.

We love, love, love this book. We are already big LEGO fans, so adding LEGO to our bedtime routine has been super fun. A perfect way to wind-down before bedtime.
Did you Know? Earth: Amazing Answers to more than 200 Awesome Questions
Can you freeze in a desert? How do living things become fossils? What is a biome? Why? Earth explains volcanoes, earthquakes, oceans, space, and much more! It focuses on the subjects that kids want to know about and the questions they ask, helping them easily learn new information.

The Magic and Mystery of Trees
From the highest branch and leaf down to the complex “wood wide web” of roots, every part of a tree plays an important role in its own growth and the habitat of the whole forest or woodland.
Did you know that trees take care of each other and that the whole forest is connected? The Magic and Mystery of Trees takes children on a fascinating journey of exploration, showing them just how special these mighty organisms are. Discover how they communicate and warn each other of predators, how they nurture their networks, record the past, and anticipate the future to ensure their survival.
Available on Amazon.
We’ve been talking a lot about global warming and how important trees are for our environment. This book helps easily explain the very important role trees have in our world.
DK Readers Festivals and Celebrations
Celebrate different holidays around the world, from Chinese New Year to Diwali, and from the Mexican Day of the Dead to American Thanksgiving.
Beginning with New Year’s Day, Festivals and Celebrations lets young children join in celebrations around the world throughout the year. Each chapter is divided by season and covers everything from Passover and Easter, to Japanese Cherry Blossom Festivals and International Children’s Day, to Holi and Hanukkah.
Available on Amazon.
This book has been fun to read with our five-year-old. He is learning about festivals and celebrations in other cultures, and we love the bright photos and colourful pages.
Dreams: Unlock Inner Wisdom, Discover Meaning, and Refocus your Life
Have you ever dreamt you were being chased? Or that your teeth were falling out? Does fire, water or lost love recur in your dreams? With expert advice and guidance, find out how to decode and interpret your dreams to reveal how the images, stories and emotions you experience in sleep are deeply connected to your waking life.
Explore psychotherapeutic interpretations of key dream images and themes, and discover how to work with your dreams to address issues and imbalances in your life, as well as improve your psychological well-being.

I got this book for myself. I keep it on my bedside table, and I love being able to read about the meaning of my dreams when I wake up in the mornings. I highly recommend this one if you want to interpret your dreams.

This is a fantastic list, especially for boys. I love how the lego one has interaction to keep their attention. I find that as a teacher, the nonfiction or action-related books appeal more to boys. I love that more and more of these types are being released and I am seeing boys get really excited about reading. I have a son myself and this makes me happy!
I’m a book addict and I love your choices and so do your kids I should think judging by your son’s grin.
