Today's the day...PB10for10! This is my first time participating in this event but I have read numerous posts in previous years so I thought why not give it a try! So without farther ado here I go.
Shortcut by Donald Crews
This book is wonderful as he tells the story of walking on the railroad tracks home. I love how the illustrations change from day to dusk to evening.
The Old Woman Who Named Things by Cynthia Rylant Illustrated by Kathryn Brown
In this story, an old woman finally befriends a dog after thinking he was gone for good. This story is so touching.
The Library by Sarah Stewart Illustrated by David Small
Who doesn't want their house to be covered in books and the ending is perfect!
The Reader by Amy Hest Illustrated by Lauren Castillo
A winter day made perfect with a secret in the suitcase!
My Mouth Is A Volcano! by Julia Cook Illustrated by Carrie Hartman
Hilarious book about saying anything and everything that pops into your mind at any moment...even if the moment is not right. I can still hear my students saying "You're being a volcano!"
How Rocket Learned to Read by Tad Hills
Rocket was a favorite character in my first grade classroom last year. My students fell in love with Rocket and Rocket became our class mascot.
Patches Lost and Found by Steven Kroll Illustrated by Barry Gott
A wonderful story about a girl who has nothing to write about or at least she thinks so. My students really enjoyed her version of how her pet was lost and then found.
My New Friend Is So Fun! by Mo Willems
My class loved Elephant and Piggie. When I shared this book, a few students were worried that their friendship was over. After reading, we discussed how people can have many friends.
Over and Under the Snow by Kate Messner
I love the illustrations in this book and thinking about what the animals under our feet are doing and thinking.
Too Many Pumpkins by Linda White Illustrated by Megan Lloyd
In this story, Rebecca Estella hates pumpkins until she discovers that pumpkins can bring good things. I have this story on tape (yup, cassette tape) from Scholastic. I love the music in the background, the pumpkins carved and lined up to welcome the community to her farm. It would not be fall without reading this book.
I hope I have given you a glance at some new to you books or made you think about some books that perhaps you "forgot" about on your shelf. Thank you Cathy Mere and Many Robek for hosting and for the warm welcome!
Happy Book Loving!
Kathy
Congrats on your first pb10for10! I have Too Many Pumpkins on cassette tape as well. :) I love using My New Friend is so Fun at the beginning of the year to start a discussion on friendships. I've also started a Padlet to keep track of books I want to look for later, and I've added The Reader from your list. Thanks for sharing!
