Well, It's been a whole week since I've blogged...and it's been pretty uneventful. Missed my usual WWIW and Link -up with my fellow challengers because I was sick and not up to it. I've done much of nothing this week but rest. So I thought for my Friday Five, I'd share with you five of my favorite books for kids in celebration of Children's Book Week, this week! I have so many favorites, it's hard to narrow it down, but I'll try!! Most of these books I've used in my teaching!
Library Lion by Michelle Knudsen- I love, love, love this book! I've been my school's Librarian and Technology teacher for the past two years, and when I first started doing so, I was also a Educational Consultant for Discovery Toys. This book was one that we offered through Discovery Toys. I read it and immediately knew it'd be perfect to teach Library Rules (and rules of good behavior in general)! It is quite a long book, but it holds the students attention from beginning to end! The kids love it...and ask me to read it over and over! Read more about Library Lion {

The View from Saturday by E.L Konigsburg- This one is a chapter book for older children that I read as an adult and loved! It all centers around a challenge bowl, it's team and how the teacher picks the students and how they came to "make the team"! I also mentioned it {

The Wall by Eve Bunting- Another story I've used in my teaching. Such a sweet and sentimental story to share with your family...about family! I cry every time! Read more about The Wall {
here}. I also love the fairly new children's book
Don't Forget, God Bless Our Troops by Jill Biden. I read both to my students around Memorial Day/Veteran's Day!
Frindle by Andrew Clements- I'm a big fan of Andrew Clements and this is one of my faves. I love that it gives the power to the kids and makes them feel invincible! So fun!! Read more about Frindle {

And how could I not include
Wonder on my list! My all time favorite book. A must read for every...human being! I've blogged about it {
here} and {
here}. Choose Kind!!
I could go on and on...Feel free to share your faves with me in the comments below!!
Have a great weekend!

I love all your choices! Reading is one of my favorite hobbies, and even though my boys aren't little anymore, I enjoy checking out children's books. All of Shel Silverstein's books are favorites of mine. Glad you're feeling better! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Lana! I love Shel Silverstein too and so do my students! I contemplated putting The Giving Tree on the list!!
