Guess what? Summer’s starting, and that means time to read on the beach (or in a hammock, or in your room… wherever!) To kick off your summer reading, we’re staring a Book of the Month group. Every month, we’ll feature a book that we think sounds really cool. You can pick up your own copy and follow along with us. Visit DogEared each Wednesday to follow the discussion with
other DogEared Book Club readers like you!
What’s the first book? It’s the newest book in the Ranger’s Apprentice series. It’s called The Kings of Clonmel, and it’s the eighth book following the adventures of new ranger Will and his mentor, Halt.

We’ll be reading the first 12 chapters this week. See you on Wednesday, June 9!

Is there anything like the smell and feel of a brand new book? (BIG Dog sniff… AH!)
Well, how about SIX new books?
That will keep you busy this summer, and immediately fill a bookshelf.
So, here’s an idea we really like for book lovers everywhere that DogEared readers might enjoy. It’s the Children’s Book-of-the-Month Club®, a sponsor of DogEared.
It works like this. When members sign up, they get to choose six books for $2. Then, they promise to buy four more books in the next two years. Members also get discounts on books and catalogs to browse for other ones they like. This is a great deal if your family buys a lot of books.
Want to read more about it? Click here to discover more about the Club and get a sneak peek at some of the books they offer like 39 Clues, Brisinger, Oh, Yuck! and more. This is from an advertiser, so if you’re interested, you will need to grab a parent to help you join.
Happy Summer Reading!!

Posted by What is DogEared?
So why did we call it DogEared and not, the, um, book blog?
Hmm…good question, smarty pants!
You know when you read a book and you turn the top edge of a page over to mark your place? Well, that’s called a “dog ear!” We want you to mark this Web page just like that…dog ear DogEared, if you will…and come back here often to read real kids’ reviews and recommendations. Plus, share your own opinions and create your own reading wish list.
Think of it as your own online book club.
Enjoy!
