Make reading assignments wildly fun for kids by whipping up adorable bookmarks for them to enjoy as they read their favorite books. Today, I’m sharing the free Wild for a Good Book bookmark printables so you can make your own, along with a fun idea to present each one with a little toy wild animal reading buddy. These are sure to be a hit with kids of all ages, and they are as easy as can be to put together. Read on for all the details!

These would be a wonderful gift from teachers to students to encourage kids to get excited about reading!
My son handed these out to his friends for Valentine’s Day this year, but I also think they would make really fun party favors for children’s parties. There are so many fun options for these!
