Library Visit: A Couple of Weeks Overdue

Some of these books will look familiar! I took a trip to the library in last week mid-week to get some choice read alouds books to share with a group of 20 K-1 students at a local after-school program here in Oakland. Here's the stack of books I have sitting in my living room:

I checked out 3 Mem Fox books, and read Boo to a Goose and The Magic Hat to the K-1 students:


This book, Pierre the Penguin, was a hit with the K-1 crowd! Check out my review of  this book this coming Monday!


This is Jan Brett's version of the 3 Little Pigs, set in Africa. I'm contemplating is this should be my next read aloud to the K-1 students. What do you all think?



Kevin Henkes is the best!! I got a few of his books to meander through. I'm deciding which ones I want to read aloud to this K-1 after school kids:


I was proctoring the state test this past week for small groups of students (who-hoo! There's nothing more fun than that!). One of the boys was really into dragons, so I picked up this neat Gail Gibbons dragon book for him to read after he finished his test- he liked it a lot. I really like Gail Gibbons books, and kids do too!


Have a great weekend! Read on!
