This summer, we started a neighborhood book club. Their first book was Fablehaven. I think I enjoyed it as much if not more than the boys! It's a great read for kids and adults.
We all met in the treehouse to discuss the book and have treats. We told the kids that we actually live in Berkhaven, a community much like Fablehaven that serves as a retreat and sanctuary for mythical creatures.
Caryn had this cool Turkish tea set for the magical hot cocoa that would open the kids eyes to the mythical world around them. (If you've read the book, this makes sense)

Then we sent them out in the yard to see if they could find anything. I had about 10 creatures hidden.

Them finding the green fairy.I am hoping to do about 6 books a year with them. I love to see them learn, their imaginations expand, and develop a love of reading.
