The Summer issue is here!

Hi readers,

Check out the Summer issue of Chirp Magazine for all kinds of camping fun! Are you going camping this summer? I know I am! And I’m definitely going to make this delicious recipe:

Banana Canoe

1. Slice into a banana lengthwise but keep the peel on.
2. Open the peel and fill the sliced banana with small snacks like mini-marshmallows, chocolate chips, and granola.
3. Close the banana peel and wrap the banana in tinfoil. Cook it over a hot fire for about 10 minutes.
4. Open up your canoe and eat it with a spoon. Yum!

Send us your camping pics and we will try to post them on www.owlkids.com.

Happy Father’s Day!

Hi everyone,

Did you know that this Sunday is Father’s Day?

To help your dad celebrate, why not decorate a mug just for him?

All you need is a ceramic mug and permanent markers.

Carefully draw out your design on the mug, let it dry for 24 hours, then have an adult bake it in the oven at 250°C for 2 hours.

Let it cool, then wrap it up to give to your dad, grandfather, uncle or anyone else you love.

Happy Father’s Day!

Book Review: Share

Hi everyone,

I just read this great book from Owlkids. It’s called Share and it’s by Sally Anne Garland. Bunny finds it very hard to share her room and her toys with her visiting little cousin. Will she be happy when she leaves or do you think she might miss him just a bit? Read the book to find out!

Do you have a book to recommend to other readers? Comment on this post or send us an email about it!
