7 Back to School Books Every Family Should Own

Heading back to school? These back to school books will help your family gear up for the year ahead!

Heading back to school? These back to school books will help your family gear up for the year ahead!Thank You Mr Falker: I read this classic book to my class on the first of day of school EVERY single year until I became an interventionist.  And I cried every time.  This touching story shares a little girl's struggle with reader, and the teacher who made all the difference.  It reminds children to be kind, and to keep trying.

If You Take a Mouse to School: Prepping for a new school experience? One of the most familiar characters will help get your kids excited about school!

David Goes to School: Best of luck to David's teacher! This silly story is a great way to talk about school rules and expectations.

My Teacher Sleeps in School:  Younger children? They REALLY think we live at school.  This book follows a class as they look for clues about where their teacher ACTUALLY lives.

Mrs. Nelson is Missing: This classic book tells the story of a class that just won't give their teacher a break.  And her response? Will have adults everywhere chuckling. 

The Art Lesson: This story tells the story of a little boy's dreams and expectations……and how a wonderful teacher helps him with both.

The Kissing Hand: This sweet story is the perfect way to say goodbye to your little one on the first day of school.

Want to buy a few back to school books (or school supplies) of your own?  I'm giving one lucky reader a $50 amazon gift card to stock their own home library!

    Gosh, such a tough question! I’m going to have to name three: Harold and the Purple Crayon, The Little Prince and Harriett the Spy. I loved reading growing up- it was. A way to transport myself to a whole other world. I’m so happy our daughter is showing such an interest in books and reading. 🙂

✨One of my favorite spots on the Disney Wish? The Bayou Lounge.  It’s stunning.  Perfectly detailed, ornate and plush and feels like……..a place you’d love to sit and sip on something fabulous.  There is live music in the evenings, there are beignets all day, and fancy drinks too.  It’s perfect for….one of my favs.

💦 I had to: full Disney Wish Aquamouse report 💦

For research purposes…..since anything that combines Disney and bathing suits is a requirement in my book.

Scroll to see my ride cam and reactions (and a sneak peak at Disney’s first attraction at sea).

Is it scary? No. 
Will kids like it? Yes.
Will adults like it? Yes.
Is it adorable? 100% yes.

Now…..would you ride the Aquamouse? Drop a yes or no in the comments.

🌊What a day……this post comes from somewhere in the ocean because the Disney Wish Christening Cruise has officially begun.

💫This day has been even more special than I could have imagined and I am so excited to explore the ship!

Swipe to see our state room and the sail away party!

<hosted by Disney> I had ONE thing I wanted to do during our day at Epcot before we sail away for the Christening of the Disney Wish tomorrow.  And it lived up to every expectation I had. ⠀
⠀
Seriously, this ride is a magical addition to the parks (and I know WDW people it’s not new to you but it was new to us Disneylanders…..I’m SO glad I didn’t watch ride spoilers beforehand……it was so fun to experience it this way!)⠀
⠀
So, if you had to pick ONE thing to do at Walt Disney World….what would your priority be? Now I have to know (and why is it something Epcot related).⠀
