Recommended by Real Kids Giveaway

July 13, 2022

We want to hear about the books kids love.

This summer, kids can share a photo of them with their favourite book and we’ll feature the title on our Recommended by Real Kids booklist so other readers can be inspired. Kids could also be featured on our social media pages AND each submission will count as an entry into a draw for a Tales the Whale stuffed toy.

For more fun Summer Reading Club activities, check out our webpage here.
