Unique Workbooks to Capture Every Kid’s Attention
by Dena McMurdie
Dena read Jack London's White Fang in the third grade and has loved children's books ever since. She reads, blogs, and paints in North Carolina where she lives with her husband and three children. You can also find her at her blog, Batch of Books, where she writes about children's, middle grade, and young adult books.
My children’s interests range far and wide and can change at a moment’s notice. They’ll become obsessed with a topic and dive deep into it for several weeks before moving on to something else. They might want to expand on a topic they covered in school or take on a passion project like hand lettering. I’m always on board with learning new things and helping them explore their interests, so I keep my eye out for unique workbooks that they’ll enjoy.
Whether your kid is fascinated by rocks and minerals or you want a fun workbook to supplement what they learn at school, here are 14 titles to explore.
by Dr. Seuss
If your child likes Dr. Seuss’s wild and wacky world, they’ll love this workbook! With familiar characters, fun exercises, reward stickers, and lessons in educational and emotional subjects, this workbook is perfect for first graders. This book series also includes workbooks for 2nd and 3rd grade.

Another subject my kids can’t get enough of is Ancient Egypt, and this workbook feeds their curiosity.
