My niece, nephew, and I enjoyed Throw Your Tooth on the Roof. My niece and nephew both liked learning about what kids from various countries/cultures do with their teeth when they fall out, and my nephew, like me, was fascinated by how many cultures believe in a "Tooth Mouse" rather than a Tooth Fa...

Lemonade is the perfect drink for a cold, snowy winter day. A fun introduction to counting.

8/20/12 ** Used as part of the personal narrative (memoir) unit in Writer's Workshop. This is a good mentor text for taking a brief, seemingly unimportant memory and creating a published text. Lots of imagination in the way the parts of the car wash are depicted. Downside is that there are no tex...

I really thought the title was a one-off. Who knew so many people literally throw their teeth on the roof! Ha! We actually got super nerdy with this and made a bar graph to chart the frequency of various traditions. Move over tooth fairy, the rat and the roof take the prize! Lots of fun!

This was a hit. I don't know why we've been reading so many small-doesn't-mean-less-important-books of late, that aspect didn't grab us. We liked the counting, and learning a bit about pumpkins.

A worthy little revisionist take on Sleeping Beauty. The drawings are fun and funky. The verse is entertaining. In this story the girl gets to save herself and that's nice, but beyond that it's not a particularly memorable book.
