Take a Trip . . . By Reading a Good Book

Many of us are not able to go on a vacation this summer.  We'll have to settle for travelling through the stories we read.  So this week, I'm sharing some of my favorite picture books about trips . . .


A Good Knight's Rest by Shelley Moore Thomas
The Good Knight's hard work has earned him a vacation, but his three little dragon friends come along and make the trip anything but relaxing.

Are We There Yet? by Dandi Daley Mackall
A brother and sister can't wait to hit the road, but they soon find themselves bored with riding in the car and try to make the trip more fun.

Duck's Vacation by Gilad Soffer
Duck is trying to enjoy a relaxing vacation, but with each turn of the page, the reader causes some calamity.

The House Takes a Vacation by Jacqueline Davies
While the Petersons are away, their house decides to take a trip to the sea to watch the "Dance of the Sunlight," despite some groaning from the chimney and the basement's refusal to rise to the occasion.

Duck Tents by Lynne Berry
While on a camping trip, five little ducks pitch tents, go fishing, toast marshmallows around a campfire, and face frightening night noises.
