Through the book “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”, we learn more about the wonderful journey of caterpillars, the rich animal world and nature that always has many interesting things to discover. After reading the story “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” in English together, the instructor summarizes the message from the book for the children. Next, the children experience making tools, playing games… creating a very happy atmosphere.
It was the first day of the “Happy Summer Reading” program organized by Can Tho City Library in collaboration with Aston English Center. Le Tra My, a student at Tra An Primary School (Binh Thuy District), excitedly shared: “Today my mother took me to participate in this program, I feel very happy!

To welcome the summer market, many bookstores in Can Tho City such as FAHASA Can Tho, FAHASA Ninh Kieu, Phuong Nam Can Tho, Hong An... have decorated their spaces attractively, added a variety of cultural products and implemented many promotional and exchange programs to attract young customers. For example, at FAHASA Ninh Kieu Bookstore, the unit has renovated the entire bookstore with a new, beautiful and convenient look for customers. Mr. Mai Tan Loc, Director of Nguyen Hue Book Center - FAHASA Company, said: FAHASA provides 200,000 books for display and distribution throughout the system, with diverse genres such as comics, life skills, natural world, scientific knowledge... The books are beautifully presented, printed with quality, ensuring to serve customers, especially children.

On this occasion, in addition to experiential activities, drawing, coloring, FAHASA also cooperates with publishers, partners, and organizes book exchanges, entertainment, etc. to create a useful playground for children.
In particular, bookstores are implementing promotional programs, incentives, and summer gifts, attracting the attention of customers. Walking around bookstores these days, it is not difficult to see the image of parents and grandparents taking their children to bookstores and libraries. Many young couples take their children to bookstores to read comics, color, etc. to create memorable moments for their children. Ms. Ly Thi My Duyen, took her second-grade daughter to FAHASA Ninh Kieu bookstore to choose comics, coloring books, and books to prepare for the new school year. Ms. Duyen attentively read comics with her child, explaining to her the details in the stories. Ms. My Duyen said: “I spend the weekends with my child. Today is Saturday, my husband is still at work, so the two of us go, and on Sunday morning the whole family goes to the bookstore. I really enjoy the moments of reading books with my child.”
Reading books with your children is not only a memorable moment but also a lesson in teaching children about the love of reading and a catalyst for family bonding.
