I love books. It isn't a secret. Everybody who knows me well knows I have an addiction. As a friend of mine says, "It's my hobby." I'd say that fits me too. I love to sit in the children's book section at the library and bookstore and just explore all the new literature that is available.
In my classroom we work together to build the classroom library. We do book passes and countless times, I've said to my children... "This is one of my favorites." So I decided for this entry, I'd just share with you a few of my "favorites." The list is endless, but here are a few...
The Other Side Jacqueline Woodson
Epposomundas Colleen Salley
Bubba and Beau (There are 3 books in the series) Kathy Appelt
Stellaluna Janelle Cannon
Imogene's Antlers David Small
Saturdays and Teacakes Lester Laminack
Let Me Be The Boss Brod Baggert
Chapter Books...
The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane Kate DiCamillo
Tuck Everlasting Natalie Babbitt
I Have Lived a Thousand Years Livia Bitton-Jackson
Reading is a key part of our children's lives, and even though technology is an essential part of our lives, in my opinion, there is nothing like turning the page in a book... the crisp crinkle and the look on the children's faces when they see the next set of illustrations, like when we read I Ain't Gonna Paint No More!
There's also nothing like these words as well... "Read us just one more chapter, please..."
Happy Reading!
