Welcome to Wild About Reading!

Welcome to “Wild About Reading,” a Book Blog for kids and their caregivers.

We’re a bunch of animals that LOVE chatting about books, authors, illustrators….pretty much everything library! Our reading interests are as varied as our appearances, so you’re sure to find a kindred book buddy.

Children and caregivers are welcome to respond to anything we’ve written by clicking on the “comment” button at the end of each post. You can also tell us about the books you’re reading by writing a book review of your own at: tcpl.org/kids/reading.php. We will post your review to this blog within the week.

Thanks for visiting and HAPPY READING!

Your Book Buddies,
Harold the Hedgehog, Owen the Owl, Gregor the Giraffe,
Max the Meerkat, Milo the Monkey and Pippi the Parrot

Happy Earth Day!


Milo the Monkey
Earth Day is a very special day, not only for me and my animal friends, but ALL living creatures that inhabit our wonderful world. Join us in celebrating today with books about the earth and the ways we can help keep it beautiful. Of course, my favorite title is,  Me...Jane by Patrick McDonnell, which is about my good friend and primatologist, Jane Goodall when she was about your age.

Check out our list of Earth Day picture books and let us know YOUR favorite.
