Corduroy is a curious bear seeking his missing button. He goes through the mall trying to find one. He causes a ruckus and is taking back to where he belongs. Only, he belongs to the little girl who has a home and friendship waiting for him. I would use this book possibly as a counting activity with buttons or maybe create adventures for Corduroy and see if the author came up with any of the same stories.

This book is for older grades. It is a roller-coaster of emotions as we go through Bud's journey with him. We find how hard Bud's life is and how he overcomes it. Character analysis and context clues would be great to express and teach with this book. Vocabulary is also very rich.

Harold goes on an exciting adventure with the scribble of his purple crayon. Walking in the moonlight, sailing on the ocean, to a hot air balloon ride. This book is great for imagination. I would use this as an art project. Have the students write then draw their own adventure with a purple crayon.

This book would be a great beginner reading book. Each character is unique and plays a great part in the story. This could be used as a nap time book/song and also possibly sequencing.

This is a sweet interactive book about the ABCs. It is a fun way to learn the ABCs and also be involved in reading the book. One teacher has done this book as a program for parents to come watch. That would be very cute!
