About Corduroy
Corduroy - Don Freeman

This book is timeless and perfect for emergent and beginner readers. The story offers so many lessons about childhood, patience, and being content. I would most likely read this to a kindergarten class and keep it in my classroom library for grades k-2.

About The Giving Tree
The Giving Tree - Shel Silverstein

This book is so fantastic! I love the sad, but lovable story about the boy who takes too much from the tree! This book would be perfect for whole group discussions on the environment, on personal responsibility and duty, and on giving back. I would love to read this book to a fifth grade class and then take part in a community service project of some sort! This book will also be a staple in my classroom library.

About Alice the Fairy
Alice the Fairy - David Shannon

This book is easy to read, fun, and also offers a lesson in the importance of doing the right thing and making good choices. Alice is mischievous and I think that students would love to read about, independently, and think about how they can relate to her behavior. I would definitely make this book available in my classroom library in grades k-5. I also think it would be fun to use this book for projects by allowing students to create their own character. It could be an extended project, and at the end, students could dress up like the character they have created.

About the three little wolves
The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig: A Pop-Up Storybook with a Twist in the Tale! - Eugene Trivizas,Helen Oxenbury

This text is a wonderful extension of the original three little pigs story. I would love to use this book, and others that are 'spin-offs' of classic literature to work on text comprehension, retelling, and predicting. I think it would be great, if possible, to use this type of book to introduce literature circles to lower grade levels. I would probably use this book the most in grades 2 and 3.

About Pete's School Shoes
Pete the Cat: Rocking in My School Shoes - Eric Litwin,James Dean

This book is fun, easy to read, engaging, and catchy. I would definitely use this book to read aloud to my class, at the beginning of the year in grades k-3. After reading it out loud, of course, I would keep it in my classroom library.
