This is a book I recently read to a group of preschoolers at the library.  They loved this book!  We talked about not getting upset over small things and how to just keep on going with life!  It has a cute song that the kids can sing along with for an engagement strategy. We could do a fun activity with this that involves gluing buttons on something.  We could do a writing activity where we write about a time we got upset about something and how it got resolved.

It has a 2.0 reading level.

I absolutely need this Cat and the Hat book about space!!  It would be great to do to teach about space.  There are so many space activities that could go along with it.  I would love to do a virtual field trip of the moon or something like that to go along with it. It has a reading level of a 2.0.  I just love this book!  It is "out of this world"!!

Freckle Juice has a reading level of 3.6. It is a high-quality read about a boy who desperately wants freckles, and how he ends up making a deal for a "freckle juice" recipe from his annoying classmate Sharon.  It is a good little read for a guided reading center.  It could simply be used for fluency building, comprehension, etc.  We are using it in my class and the kids really seem to enjoy it.

I love this book!!  It would be to broaden my students horizons with their knowledge of other cultures by reading this book.  It is very out there and mystical, but it does teach a pretty good lesson on not comparing your gifts to others', and on realizing that everyone plays an important role.  It has a 2.8 reading level.  I could have my students paint their own sunset scenes for fun.  It would be fun and different.

This book is one I personally get a kick out of, being a cat lover! I think this would be a good book to just keep in the classroom that kids could read from the class library.  These are the kinds that catch kids' eyes and interest them in reading.  I don't know if it would be such a good one to do a big unit on or anything, but I want it in my class library because it teaches a cute lesson on new experiences and it would interest students.
