Another Berenstain Bears collection. This book talks about the bedtime battle that mama and papa bear has with their cubs. In the end the parents fall asleep trying to get their cubs to sleep. The small bears start with slowly cleaning up and slowly taking a bath and then wanting a story for bedtime. This is a great book to include in the students book box as they can read the Berenstain Bears book collection.

This is my favorite book of all times. I loved to read Dr. Seuss as a child but when I got older this book encouraged me and I will make sure it is one of the books I read to my students every year. A lot of inspirational messages are hidden in the book. If you are just reading it and making sure you rhyme you will miss all the goals and hidden messages. This will be a whole class read for my classroom.

This is a great picture book with lots of repetition. Students can help predict what will happen next in the story. For instance usually after a dog comes a cat and after a cat comes a mouse. You can also have the students predict will the bed ever break. This story is perfect for small group reading or whole class reading with lots of pictures and illustrations.

This book will have children on their toes with guessing what is next. After giving a mouse a cookie, he will want milk to drink with it. Then he will have to trim his hair, clean up, take and nap and then drink milk again. And what do you know he will want a cookie again to go along with his glass of milk. This book is a great read for kindergartners and first graders.

This is one of the many series of books about an old lady who always swallow things and they end up coming back up at the end. This time she managed to swallow all the ingredients needed to build a snowman. This is a great read for students to have in their book boxes as they read all the other Lucille Collandro books. This is also a perfect book for winter weather and Christmas Holidays.
