Be a Nutmeg Reader: Take Home Book Club
Best for grades 2-3, but fun for all elementary readers and their families.

Each month read two Elementary Nominees for the 2025 Nutmeg Book Award. By April you will have read all the nominees and will be ready to vote for your favorite! We know families are busy and schedules are packed so this is a Take Home Book Club. Beginning on the first of each month check out copies of the two featured books and receive a Book Club Kit with Discussion Questions, Further Reading Suggestions, and an activity!
