The Summer Reading Challenge 2025 'Story Garden'

16/7/2025

Comments

 
We're excited to announce that the Summer Reading Challenge theme for 2025 is "Story Garden: Adventures in Nature and the Great Outdoors." This wonderful theme encourages children to explore the connection between storytelling and nature, focusing on adventures, fantasy, and the magical world of stories.

We would love for you to consider adding "Green Bean's Garden" to your Summer Reading Challenge reading list. Authored by Anita Frost, this book aims to foster a love for reading and learning in young children. Join Green Bean and Mr. Bear on a fun adventure into Green Bean's garden – a story of discovery with interactive flaps to lift! Little readers will follow signposts on their journey until Green Bean and Mr. Bear hear a mysterious sound.
