Favorite Books!

Some of the favorite books being read in the classroom, either during Small Group, or Book Time at the start of the day:

SUPERTRUCK by Stephen Savage.  A blizzard hits the city.  Who will save the trucks?  Simple words and colorful pictures make this book a BIG hit in Miss Jeana's room.

Pete The Cat I Love My White Shoes by James Dean and Eric Litwin.  Pete The Cat keeps walking through things that turn his shoes different colors.  But he doesn't stress about it.  He SINGS about it!  I love my white shoes! I love my red shoes!  I love my blue shoes!

Little Blue Truck By Alice Shertle and Jill McElmurry.  There is a whole series of books.  This one has a moral to the story.  Plus, the animals are funny. Little Blue Truck and his friends are good helpers.  This book is a big hit in Miss Julie's room.

Goodnight Gorilla by Peggy Rathmann.  Gorilla sneakily took the keys from the zookeeper.  Guess what he does with them?  Be sure to look for the balloon and the mouse carrying the banana.  Also notice the color of the keys match the cages.  Great for predicting what happens next.

Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson.  This is a classic book that the children choose to be read aloud during Snack Time over and over. Harold decides to go for a walk and draws the items he needs. That purple crayon must be magic!

Put Me In The Zoo by Robert Lopshire is another classic book.  This unusual animal can do amazing things.  He wants to be in the zoo, but the zoo won't let him stay.  Where else can he live?

Llama Llama Time to Share by Anna Dewdney.  There is series of Llama Llama books that are just wonderful.  This one is relevant to the kids.  They relate to Llama Llama who has some drama (yes, rhyming is in there) when Nelly Gnu plays with his toys.

These books can be found at the library.
