Camilla loves lots of things, but she will not do them because the kids at her school do not like them. She becomes so concerned with fitting in that she starts getting stripes on her. Can she learn who she really is? This book is great for teaching students to be who they are and not to worry about what people think about them.

In this Ramona series, Ramona invites everyone in her class to a party at her house without telling her mother. Will Ramona get in trouble? This is a fun book for 3-5 graders. You can use this book for a book study in your classroom.

Harry Potter series, where do I begin? These are magical books and even though they are controversial I would recommend that everyone read them. In this first book, we learn who Harry Potter is and what happened to him as a baby. We also follow him on his journey through Hogwarts, school of witchcraft and wizardry. There are lots of different things you could use this book for such as friendship, hero/villain relationship, etc.

Magic Tree House series are great books to encourage imagination and learn about social studies and science. In this particular book, Jack and Annie go back to medieval times and explore a castle and receive help from a knight, but who is the knight? I loved this series as a child and cannot wait to use this in my classroom. I would use this book when studying medieval times and knights.

Pete has brand new white shoes and he is going all over town but steps in different things and changes the colors of his shoes. This book would be great for lower grades/ages to help them with colors.
