Episode 317: National Parks + Celebrate Reading Month

Sara wants to visit as many national parks as possibleā€¦and we have some here in New York State. Find out about the history of the National Park System and the different types. Did you know that March is National Reading Month? Nicole is here with some tips on how to celebrate.

Who doesn’t want to visit all our wonderful national parks? Check out this website for all the details: https://www.nps.gov/index.htm. And to really narrow it down to where we live, here is the New York page:

https://www.nps.gov/state/ny/index.htm. New York has 24 national parks and 4 national heritage areas. And America’s first park was Yellowstone! But we have one word for you: swath!

Did you know that March is National Reading Month? It is! In honor of Dr. Seuss’ birth month, it is a time to celebrate all things books!! How do you celebrate: visit the library, read a short story, post a shelfie, read a book outloud (but only to people who want to hear you), start a new audiobook (yes, it is “reading” or *cough* “listening”), wear your best bookish “swag” (ie/ clothes that celebrate books), eat a dish from your favorite book (think cookbooks), spruce up a little free library near you, and finally get crafty with bookmarks!

And we talk about the book “Shark Heart” and if it sounds sad and do we like sad books?
