Naughty Little Monkeys is a great way to incorporate behavior and the ABCs in one lesson for your lower grade levels. This is definitely a book I would use in kindergarten and 1st grade. I would read it to them during the first day of school and have them point out what is wrong with the behavior fr...

And because of that I've just been telling Izzy this story sans picture book for the past 2 years. It's become one of our favorite night time traditions. If she's ev...
The only thing that qualifies this as a christmas-holiday-winter book is the fact that sometimes people make gingerbread cookies at Christmastime, but that's about the only holiday-ish thing it has going for it. Having said that I still love this story AND the illustrations! Barbara McClintock is...
