Thank you very much for your great suggestions!!! The Kissing Hand is a beautiful story for Kindergarten. -------------- General School Never Spit on Your Shoes - Denys Cazet First Day Jitters - Julie Danneberg If You Take A Mouse to School - Laura Numeroff David Goes to School - David Shannon Library What Happened to Marion's Book? - Brooke Berg D.W.'s Library Card - Marc Brown Book!Book!Book! - Deborah Bruss The Library Dragon - Carmen Deedy I Took My Frog to the Library - Eric Kimmel Edward and the Pirates - David McPhail Edward in the Jungle - David McPhail Richard Wright and the Library Card - William Miller Tomas and the Library Lady - Pat Mora Wild About Books - Judy Sierra The Librarian from the Black Lagoon - Mike Thaler If you haven't seen Wild About Books yet I highly recommend it. Written by Judy Sierra and illustrated by Marc Brown, they dedicated it to Dr. Seuss and it is written somewhat in his style. The storyline has a bookmobile librarian accidentally driving to the zoo where of course all of the animals start getting books and reading (some of them mishandle the books initially so there is some book care in the story), then they turn to writing books, and eventually build and run their own library! ------------ I'm getting ready to read "Mr. Wiggle's book" "Corduroy goes to the library" And "the library" by stewart. I also try easy "career" books about librarians and "What happened to Marion's book?" mostly book care a why we love to read. ------------ How about A Fine Fine School by Sharon Creech? There's also a couple of cute ones just for kindergarteners - The 12 Days of Kindergarten and The Night Before Kindergarten. I also use Mr. Wiggle's Book right away because we start talking about book care on day 1. Another fun one for library is Can You Guess Where We're Going by Woodruff. ------------ For the little ones, Miss Bindergarten Gets Ready for Kindergarten; The Kissing Hand ------------ Try Wild about Books by Judy Sierra The Library Dragon by Carmen Deedy Beverly Billingsley Borrows A Book by Alexander Stadler ------------ I am planning to start the school year with the following books (elementary): Beatrice Doesn't Want to (Laura Numeroff) I Am Too Absolutely Small for School (Lauren Child) Wild About Books (Judy Sierra). In previous years, I have used: Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Book (Lauren Child) Stella Louella's Runaway Book (Lisa Campbell Ernst) D.W.'s Library Card (Marc Brown) The Library Dragon (Carmen Deedy) Beverly Billingsley Borrows a Book (Alexander Stadler) Library Lil (Suzanne Williams) Aunt Chip and the Great Triple Creek Dam Affair (Patricia Polacco) ------------ I just read the picture book, Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Book by Lauren Child about a boy who falls asleep into a fairy tale book that he has doodled in, cut out pictures from, and made sticky and slimey with food. It has great cartoon like illustrations and is a fun read aloud. Kids of elementary age can recognize the fairy tales and you can use it as a lead in to talking about proper book care! ------------- I love "What if the bus doesn't come" "Wemberly Worried" "Don't eat the teacher" "Giraffe and a half" (just for fun) "Arthur's teacher trouble" ------------ One of my favorites is Wemberley Worries by Kevin Henkes. --------------- Mari Ferguson, K-8 Librarian Theodore Jamerson Elementary Bismarck, ND marivferguson@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
