Bunny School...

Here’s a sequel to Rick Walton’s Bunny Day...

Picture
    Again offering a comforting cadence of rhythm and rhyme, Bunny School features lyrical prose and charming illustrations. It’s a great read for children looking ahead to the start of the school year. Preschool and kinder students will enjoy this book as a read aloud. 1st and 2nd graders can read it independently. 3rd and above could use the book as a mentor text for writing rhyming-poems of their very own.

Here's a book of prayers for children:

I used to read this to my boys right before bed
and still see them occasionally reach for it. 
It's soft and soothing - loving and gentle:
A great gift for a baby's birth and/or the church nursery.

    I recently discovered the whimsy and wisdom of Author and Illustrator Peter Reynolds. Here are three books that are worth sharing with young readers:

THE DOT
When Vashti becomes discouraged with her drawing skills, a gifted teacher encourages her, inspires her and ultimately teaches her to pass on the lesson to others.

ISH
Not perfect? No problem. Draw beautifulish p
ictures. Write wonderfulish poems. Dance magicalish movments.
A gloryfulish life awaits you!

This is a year of haiku for boys and it captures the fun, adventure, and discovery that awaits anyone with an ear for beauty and a heart for nature.

Toddler Home-Run Rhymes...

Attention Teachers and Parents of Toddlers:
Marc Brown's cutie of a book, Hand Rhymes, is a home run when it comes to early literacy activities at home and school.
Picture
Each page of this book offers a simple poem, an illustration, and directions for hand movements to accompany the reading.

Great as a birthday gift for young children --

Match this title with Brown's other books, Finger Rhymes & Play Rhymes, and you are well on your way to early reading fun.

"I Cannot Go to School Today..."

 My fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Sharon Yeiter,
introduced me to Where the Sidewalk Ends. I still remember the sheer delight in hearing Peggy Ann McKay explain why
she couldn’t go to school today. I worked for weeks on memorizing that poem – all 214 words of it.

Now I’m sharing this great book with my boys.

Simply said:

Any child's book collection
is incomplete without it.
