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 book is all about Aliens!! What they are, what they do, where to find them. Despite the subject matter, it is not a scary book, though it is perfect for Halloween. Not to worry, Zeeton the alien is friendly and he delivers information about aliens in a light and whimsical way. He explains how aliens are portrayed in different cultures and what to do if you were to make contact with one. My favorite part of this book is the writing activity that is suggested at the end. It also has websites that teachers can visit in order to enhance learning if this book were incorporated in their lesson. The Monster Buddies series really keeps teachers in mind.
