Book Bundles

What is a Book Bundle? Each bundle is a bag filled with materials covering one topic, like farms, seasons or music. We have fifteen in total and each bag has picture books, music, a movie, a puppet and laminated pages with craft and fingerplay ideas. Book Bundles are perfect for preschoolers, but all ages will enjoy them. They are also great for classrooms or just exploring at home too!

Book Bundles are available for a three week checkout and there is a $1 a day fine per bag if overdue.

Topics:
ABCs & 123s • Birthdays • Dinosaurs • Author Doreen Cronin • Fairy Tales • Fall • Farm Animals • Author Mo Willems • Music • Pets • Spring • Summer • Things That Go • Under the Sea • Winter
