I
Love You Stinky Face
- a beautiful book that tells of a mother's never-ending
love for her child. It is so much fun to make up your
own pages with the kids. |
|
The
Lost Thing
- I love this book because it promotes so much discussion
and it is rather 'out there'.
|

|
Animalia
- is a beautifully illustrated book that children l
spend hours and hours exploring.
|
| Just
Another Ordinary Day
- You just have to read this book the first time without showing the pictures.
Ask the kids to describe what they saw. After that read the book and show the
pictures. You'll be amazed at the responses. NB this one is out of stock at
Amazon. |

Alexander
and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
- waking up with gum in his hair was just the start of
it hehehe. Anyone who has had a bad day will relate to
this. |
|
No,
David!
The kids laugh at the things David gets up to but there
is a really nice message at the end of the book for parents
and kids alike. |

Why?:
The Best Ever Question and Answer Book About Nature,
Science, and the World Around YouThere
are many, many science books out there that answer these
questions appropriately for children. Ask them questions.
Get them thinking about the world they live in.

| The
20th-Century Children's Book Treasury: Picture Books and Stories to Read Aloud
- there is something about pulling out a big book before bedtime and flipping
through it to find a story to read together. This is only enhanced if you can
hear the rain on the roof. |

Kitchen
for Kids: 100 Amazing Recipes Your Children Can Really
Make
- For me cooking with kids is a great way to teach mathematical
measurement skills and how to follow procedural texts.
The kids can help you make the shopping list and help
out with the budget. Who knows, by the time they are nine
they might be having dinner parties :) |

Internet-Linked
First Children's Encyclopedia
I
like to have an encyclopedia that the students can browse through to find new
items of interest and with the advent of Internet links the book stays current
as they grow. |
