Alphabet Soup: A Feast of Letters by Scott Gustafson
Loved this one. From the beautiful text to gorgeous illustrations, I really enjoyed this one. I have several alphabet stories that work well for Kindergarten or even first grade. Due to the vocabulary in this one, I plan on using it with my middle grades to teach alliteration. I think the 3rd or 4th graders will love this one.
Jamica's Find by Juanita Havill
Such a sweet story! Jamaica finds a stuffed dog at the park. Struggling with the desire of "finders keepers", Jamaica finally makes a great choice. This story will be perfect for one of my lower grade classes. There are times when doing the right thing is not an easy choice for first graders.
Other reads that were not near as impressive:

Johnny Lion's Book! I got that years ago from being in the I Can Read book club. Think my brother just took it from my parents' house, so now I want to read it! My TBR pile never seems to get any smaller, but it's good to get recommendations. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteDid I tell you I started The Selection series??? It's a cross between Hunger Games and The Bachelor TV show. So far...I'm liking it. Definitely not appropriate for elementary school though.

Hi there Sara! Alphabet Soup caught my eye - reminds me of fellow blogger-bibliophile Jama Rattigan. :)
