Some Favorite Newer Books

Here are a few of "my" newer books that I love:

1. The End (Almost) by Jim Benton, is a hilarious book about a bear named donut that doesn't want the story to end.  My kiddos loved loved loved it.  We read the story over and over again with kids playing the two parts.  Great practice for reading with expression.  Such great voice in this book.
2. It's an Orange Aardvark by Michael Hall is a book of wonder and discovery.  It will keep the kids guessing and making predictions for what will come next.  This book is funny and full of suspense.
3. Mouse Was Mad by Linda Urban.  Great story about a mouse figuring out how to be mad.  It's all about self expression.
 4. I'm Not by Pam Smallcomb  is about what makes everyone special.  Love the pictures and the message.
5.  The Handiest Things in the World by Andrew Clements, is all about the how important our hands are.  This book is done in beautiful pictures.

Have a wonderful school year of sharing books with kids.

  2. Hi! I found your blog through the states linky on Fifth in the Middle. I've been searching for a Vermont teacher to participate in a 50 states postcard exchange. Would you be interested or know a teacher that would be interested? Thanks...I've been looking for a Vermont teacher for awhile :). You can email me at sdchamb@gmail.com, if you are interested or if you can help me find a teacher that is.
