I bought a few new ones for the Becker Library and I thought I'd share them - in case you know some kiddos interested in some new books, too.
(each number is linked to Amazon…my favorite store & favorite place to buy books!)
1 - llama llama misses mama by Anna Dewdney - all of the "llama llama" books are super cute! I like this one because it talks about how little llama feels when his mom leaves him at school. When we read it we talk about emotions: happy, sad, scared, etc
2 - Tip Tip Dig Dig by Emma Garcia - cute book about construction trucks and the job they do. This book was quickly memorized by Jack and we added hand movements for each truck's job (i.e.: rolling our hand for the road roller)
3 - Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site by Sherri Duskey Rinker & Tom Lichtenheld - this book is TOO cute for words! It's an absolute Jack favorite {and I love reading it too}! Each construction truck goes to bed, one by one… Girls would probably like it, too.
4 - Chugga-Chugga Choo-Choo by Kevin Lewis - A very cute rhyming book about a train and a little boy's imagination. It ends with the boy going to bed…so that's a good incentive for Jack to do the same {in a perfect world}.
5 - Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See? by Eric Carle - Classic book. We love this book because it reinforces all of the animals we have learned and it also has great rhythm & rhyme. Sometimes I catch Jack "reading" it to himself during nap time.
6 - Down by the Cool of the Pool by Tony Mitton - this book came recommended by Jack's friend Oliver and we are really loving it! It involves animals {yet again!} but they all do different dance moves down by the pool…and then OOPS - they fall in! It's a book that is definitely open to active engagement (wiggle, stamp your feet, etc). I think I might sneak it into my classroom when Jack's not looking!
Hope you & your family get a chance to read these books soon! Let us know what you think!
We love goodnight construction site at our house too!!! :)
