Where The Wild Things Are
Where The Wild Things Are - Maurice Sendak

     I am very biased when it comes to this book because it is one of my all time favorites! This book is about a boy who learns to appreciate his own world after wishing to be wild carries him on a sea of wild adventures with big monsters and huge forests. The boy does not want to do what he is told and once he goes to his room he is transformed and taken to a truly wild world! I love the illustrations in this book as well. There are such colorful, vivid descriptions.

     The reading level of this book is ages 4-8 years. A great way to use this book in your classroom is to learn shapes! Many teachers wouldn't think of this activity, but I think it is a cute idea! While learning about shapes, students can make a "Wild thing" using shapes provided!

Duck! Rabbit!
Duck! Rabbit! - Amy Krouse Rosenthal,Tom Lichtenheld

     This book takes on the questions of all time: Is It a duck or a rabbit? Well in this book, it depends on how you look at it! Perspective is everything in this book and it is a great way to teach that topic to kids. The topic of perspective is a tough one, but this book makes it easy!

     This book's reading level is ages 5-6 years. A great way to use this book in the classroom is to open discussion about opinions. Everyone has an opinion, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Open discussion and talk about how even if two people have different opinions, they can still both be right!

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
Chicka Chicka Boom Boom - Bill Martin Jr.,John Archambault,Lois Ehlert

     When all the letters of the alphabet climb to the top of a tree, will there be enough room? There will certainly be enough room for this classic on your shelf in your classroom. This irresistible alphabet romp will be enough to get any new generation young reader excited to learn!

     This book targets younger readers at a reading level of 1- 4 years. This book would be great for teaching students the alphabet because it has letters and numbers throughout the text.

The Polar Express
The Polar Express - Chris Van Allsburg

     This Christmas classic includes a young boy eager and lying awake one Christmas Eve, when he is invited aboard a magical train taking him to the North Pole. Through dark forests, over mountains, and across an ice desert, the Polar Express makes its way to the North Pole where the young boy will finally receive a Christmas wish.

     This book's reading level is ages 4-7 years. A great way to use this book would be during Christmas time. Read the book to the children and ask them why they think the author chose the wording they did. Post the book and let the children examine the illustrations. Lastly, let the children come up with their own story and illustrations.
