Day 16 of #bookadvent is Aliens love Panta Claus by Claire Freedman and Ben Cort. The aliens are excited,
As tomorrow's Christmas day,
So instead of stealing underpants,
They're giving them away! πŸ“šπŸ’™

Why read books? Because reading opens minds & hearts. It helps us imagine different lives and different worlds; it can help us build a better world. So please keep reading books with kids, and encouraging them to read. There is nothing more important. #literacy #books #reading
