Virtual Book Club for grades K-5

book club k-5 May 2025

Virtual Book Club

Our virtual do-it-at-home book clubs for all ages continue! The best part? Everyone who participates gets to keep the book!

Pick up your free book and activity packet by visiting the library! Every book will come with a blank review form, a few questions you can think about, and a small craft or activity that ties into the book. All we ask is that you read the book: do as much or as little of the rest of it as you want. No matter how much you do, the book is yours!

The books are:

  • Grades K-3: National Geographic Kids: Odd Animals by Rose Davidson. "Get to know the weirdest, silliest, most unique critters in the animal kingdom, from the axolotl to the star-nosed mole! This quirky early reader is full of awesome animals that march (and crawl, swim, and fly) to the beat of their own drum."
  • Grades 3-5: Who Would Win? Komodo Dragon vs. King Cobra by Jerry Pallotta. "What would happen if a Komodo dragon and a king cobra met? What if they had a fight? Who do you think would win? This nonfiction reader compares and contrasts two ferocious reptiles. Learn about the Komodo dragon and king cobra’s anatomy, behavior, and more. Packed with photos, charts, illustrations, and amazing facts.”

We have a post for each book on https://www.splyouth.org for anyone who wants to discuss the book or comment on any of the questions or activities. If you’d prefer not to go online, fill out the included review sheets and get them back to the library, and we can post your comments for you! Even better, everyone who either posts on our site or brings back anything included with the book – even if it’s just a picture of the craft you did – will also get a small prize at the library!

See the books for grades 5-8 and 9-12.
