Baby Book Club: Are You A Horse?

Every month is a new themed curriculum here at momstown. This November momstown went wild for Wild West this month! We've got a great round-up of Wild West-themed books for kids of all ages.

This month's book was "Are You a Horse?" by Andy Rash (Scholastic-sponsored book of the month) which we read at our momstown Baby Book Club this week at Chapters in Ancaster.


For his birthday, cowboy Roy's friends give him a saddle and some very specific instructions - 1. Find a horse, 2. Enjoy the ride! Now Roy has to find a horse... and it's not as easy as it seems! Great book to introduce children to details and descriptions, and great learning for them to decipher the different 'levels' of describing things. Cute twist at the end will entertain children too!

We always do a craft at this playdate that is themed around the book. Since it's Roy's birthday the children each made him a birthday card. Afterwards we did a raffle and momstown member Angie got to take the book home with her!

If you would like to see some other Scholastic books with a Western theme that we reviewed then please check out our momstown arts and crafts blog!
