LM_NET: Library Media Networking
This is Part 2/9 of the list of suggested picture books for my high
school library. Thanks to all who contributed.
A handful of pop-ups would be a good addition though with only $1000 you
might want to save these until later. Order one cool pop-up everytime
you do a regular book order and after awhile you'll have a few neat
ones:
The 12 Days of Christmas : A Pop-Up Celebration by Sabuda
Young Naturalist Pop-up Handbook: Butterflies by Sabuda (anything by
Sabuda actually)
The WIde-Mouthed Frog by Keith Faulkner (get this one anyway)
Maybe a how to make pop-up books book...
For the 3 and 4 year old, David Shannon's "NO DAVID" and "DAVID GOES TO
SCHOOL" are wonderful. For the older students, Patricia Polacco books
e.g. "Pink and Say" (historical) and Dr. Seuss for all (Green Eggs and
Ham for the young ones and The Butter Battle Book for the older ones).
The Caldecott award winners would be a good start. Titles such as
"Smoky Night", Golem", "So you want to be president", "Snowflake
Bentley", and "Grandfather's Journey" are written for the older reader.
Definitely buy picture books by Chris VanAllsburg. They are wonderful
for older students and the art is spectacular! Patricia Polacco would
be another good author.
I would buy picture books by Bill Martin (Brown Bear, Brown Bear); Ann
Rockwell. She has many titles suitable for preschool); Eric Carle
(Everything he does is kid approved); Rosemary Wells, Eve Bunting (she
writes picture books that high schoolers can relate to--ditto for
Patricia Polacco)and Eileen Christelow (Five Little Monkeys Jumping on
the Bed, Five Little Monkeys Wash the Car, etc.). For some wonderful
picture book ideas, go to the different state book award lists. These
picture books are selected by children. Try
our Ohio list at www.bcbookaward.org
Prayer for the Twenty-First Century
Old Turtle
Baseball Saved Us
So Far from the Sea
So many wonderful books that can be great discussion starters for even
high school students.
I would have any of the books that Thomas Locker has published. The
paintings are wonderful.
$1,000 will go quickly!
