Griffin's picks for summer reading with kids include "Harriet the Spy," "Freckle Juice," "The Little Princess," "From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler," "Fancy Nancy," "Pinkalicious," "The Story of Ferdinand,” "Where the Wild Things Are," "Harold and the Purple Crayon," "Madeline," and "Emily’s Balloon."

For the grown-ups, Griffin recommends reading "Falling Is Like This," "Husband & Wife," "Opposite of Me," and "My Fair Lazy."

Be on the lookout for Griffin's "Something Borrowed" in movie theaters, starring Kate Hudson, Ginnifer Goodwin, and John Krasinski from "The Office."
