September's Bookclub for Kids: Fox and Squirrel

momstown Mississauga moms and kids are lucky to have a monthly sponsor for our bookclub for kids. This month Scholastic Canada sent us an adorable selection Fox and Squirrel by Ruth Ohi.


Our kids loved the engaging story and the adorable artwork. Fox and Squirrel is a story about friends who as they compare and discover their differences, quickly realize that they are not so different after all.

 
With such a diverse community such as Mississauga this is a very relatable story with great messaging for our community. There are parents and kids from all over the world in our city.

Miss Deanna kept the kids entertained at our monthly Chapters story time with the monthly story plus songs and rhymes. After story time, our moms and kids had a great time making this fall themed craft.





We meet monthly for over 20 events all across Mississauga. Please consider joining us next time this event is open to the public and we post details on our Facebook Page. Our yearly membership is only $45/year for the whole family, purchase one today for yourself or as a gift for a friend!

Bookclub for Moms in Mississauga - Sponsored by Scholastic

March's momstown Mississauga bookclub event was sponsored by Scholastic Canada. We held it at a pub in Port Credit called the Crooked Cue this month, combining pub night and bookclub! What a fun mom's night out!

Scholastic Canada sponsors monthly bookclub events for our momstown kids and babies to support our literacy programs. This March, Scholastic also sponsored a Bookclub for Moms! We read The False Prince by Jennifer A. Neilsen.


The False Prince
 
Our Mississauga Moms were excited to take home a brand new hardcover - Thank You Scholastic for providing us with copies of the book! We shared them around and a few people bought the e-book since they prefer their e-readers. 

Everyone agreed they weren't sure what to expect from the book initally, and then couldn't put it down once they got into it! The False Prince is a great read - full of intrigue and suspense keeping you guessing until the end.


 
We meet for fun events like our bookclub, crafty moms nights out, boardgame nights, and coming this spring we'll be meeting at various fitness studios and clubs around the city to try out different exerciese classes!
 
momstown Mississauga isn't just for stay at home moms, with our interactive message board, family weekend events like our recent Music and Movement Barbie Event and mom's night out events, there's lots for working moms too! At $45/year you won't find a better value than momstown, buy your membership here!
