What is a Book Companion?

Book companions are a set of effective extension activities that go along with a published book. Book companions are a SUPPLEMENT to the book and do not contain any text from the book. You must have access to the book to use the book companion (you can get access by purchasing the book on amazon, finding the book at your library, or listening to a read aloud on youtube.)

Where can I find the Halloween book companions?

Grab the Halloween Book Companion Set here in the Shop.
