Today is the final day of my 3rd Annual Book Inspired Craft Week. For today's book I chose a well known and well loved children's picture book- If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. This is a book that I remember well from when I was a kid, and read to my kids when they were young.

This week I am pairing favorite books with crafts in my 3rd Annual Book Inspired Craft Week. For today's book I have chosen one that I loved when I was a little kid, Keep the Lights Burning, Abbie. I know that there was a Reading Rainbow episode of this book but I don't remember if that is where I first heard of it, or if I had already read it before seeing it here. All I remember is it being a favorite.

For the 3rd book of my 3rd Annual Book Inspired Craft Week I chose The Lightning Thief- the first book in the series Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Honestly, Percy Jackson has been on my list since the first year I did this series, but has gotten bumped for other books. Choosing the books to highlight is the hardest part for me, there are just too many to choose from.

For today's Book Inspired Craft Week I chose a book that is actually part of a series that I shared a book from when I first did this 2 years ago. But this series was a huge part of my teen years, and I wanted to include another from the series. The book I chose for this project is Rilla of Ingleside- the 8th and final book in the Anne of Green Gables Series.

Today is a day I have been looking forward to all year. Two years ago I started what has now become an annual series on my blog- Book Inspired Craft Week. It is a week long series around the first week of March, which is also right around Read Across America Week and Dr. Seuss's Birthday. Every year my kids schools do a week of special activities, dress up days, read-a-thons, etc. and a couple years ago I thought, I love books and I love crafts, why not combine the two and join in the reading themed fun. Each day I choose a book that is either one that I remember loving when I was a kid, or one that has been a favorite of my kids or other family members, or that have some kind of connection to. I try to include a variety of picture books and chapter books, but all kid friendly.
