Regular blogger, Lisa D, has a dilemma. She is going to be a secret reader for her little one's kindergarten class and she doesn't know what to read. Her daughter's all time fave is Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, but with the movie coming out, she's worried that pick might seem predictable.
So we ask the perfect audience, which of your favorite picture books might make a good choice for this fab secret reader?
xoxo,
Suzanne

I recommend "Carl's Afternoon in the Park" by Alexandra Day.(Farrar, Straus and Giroux/New York 1991)A baby has an adventure with the big dog, Carl while her parents have tea in the park -it looks like San Diego. The watercolors are gorgeous and children love the baby's adventure.
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm leaving for the weekend but wanted to say thank you for helping me. I truly appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteMine? Hee hee!
ReplyDeleteI think she should still read the Cloudy book if it's her daughter's fave. Other kids may see the movie, but not necessarily read the book so it will be a good connection for them.
ReplyDeleteSome of our favorites are Pinkalicious, Bark George, and Miss Rubenstein's Beauty.
ReplyDeleteI love Eric Carle's books. Sooooo much. Then there's always Amelia Bedelia books. I loved the book Whatever by WIlliam Bee but that might be more for older children to appreciate.
ReplyDeleteRena, you have to mention the name of your book when you plug it. ; )
ReplyDeleteL.D., Rena's picture book is called A New Job for Dilly. It just came out a couple months ago. Check out her blog for more info. Also, here's the amazon listing:

Go Dilly!
I love In The Night Kitchen by Maurice Sendak, Wet Dog by Elise Broach and Illustrated by David Catrow or anything by David Catrow.
ReplyDeleteAnything funny and interactive, like Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus.
ReplyDeleteI'm probably too late to chime in, but I love Nina Laden's books. THE NIGHT I FOLLOWED THE DOG might be fun for kindergartners.
