(some of the 167 books written by Julia Donaldson are featured above)
In March 2013 we will be spotlighting books by Julia Donaldson as part of our Virtual Book Club for Kids.
Virtual Book Club for Kids is a fun way for us to share about new authors and books each month! I haven't read any books by Julia Donaldson yet, so I am really looking forward to diving into them this month! We will be spotlighting The Gruffalo
as our book this month and will share some book-related crafts and activities. We may even find time to feature a few other Julia Donaldson books too... depending on what is at our library!
If you are a fan of The Gruffalo, make sure to check out The Gruffalo on Facebook, Pinterest, and The Gruffalo's US website (if you're in the US). There are even some fun Gruffalo videos over on YouTube.
Have you read any books by Julia Donaldson? If so, which one is your favorite?
If you want to read more about Julia, you can head here. I think her About Me page is fascinating.

I can't wait to do this one! I looked at several of these books and we have settled on Stick Man. Oh, we have some fun activities planned!!!
My 3 year old son absolutely loves the Gruffalo! We have read it MANY MANY times! His new favourite Juila Donaldson book is Monkey Puzzle – it is also very entertaining!
