Kindergartners are going to be exploring the alphabet in the library for a while. We’ll start off with the fun and interactive book Amazing Alphabet! With Fantastic Flaps written by Richard Edwards and illustrated by Susan Hendra. Students always have enjoy this ABC lesson! And we have lots of wonderful alphabet books that your child can choose from to check out of the library.
Bears, bears, bears! It’s almost wintertime and our bear friends should be bedding down. First grade classes will read some hibernation non-fiction and then Sleep, Big Bear, Sleep! by Maureen Wright and illustrated by Will Hillenbrand and also Bear Snores On written by Karma Wilson with pictures by Jane Chapman.
Dewey: There’s a Cat in the Library! co-authored by Vicki Myron and Bret Witter is irresistible even to a dog lover like me and I think the second graders are going to love it too! This is based on the non-fiction version of the adult book Dewey. Author Bret Witter tells me that soon we should be seeing a teen version of this book on the shelves too. And for the record, I’m an animal lover, but terribly allergic to cats!
We will hear one last Native American story in third grade. Reading Rainbow featured The Gift of the Sacred Dog by Paul Goble so we’ll get to watch that on video and then it is followed by a real pow-wow that the students will see. I know that they have learned so much in this unit from their studies in the classroom, the speaker that came to visit and the field trip that they went on last week.
One Fine Trade retold by Bobbi Miller and illustrated by Will Hillenbrand is the story that fourth graders will hear this week. We will be paying close attention to the illustrations in this book and how Mr. Hillenbrand portrays actions, thoughts, size and conversation in this hilarious tale.
