I really love so many children's books. I do have a favorite author, Roald Dahl. Put to the test, he has entertained many third graders. For the past seven years I have read his books to my students and they have been so entertained by him. Most of my nonreaders really get inspired to read his books once I read one to them. Georges Marvelous Medicine and the Magic Finger are some of my favs... <BR/>NatalieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493014498567139094.post-21065283158354072202008-08-26T14:58:00.000-04:002008-08-26T14:58:00.000-04:00One children's book which I often find myself thin...One children's book which I often find myself thinking about is The Magic Pudding by Norman Lindsay. I'm always on the hunt for great children's books and have recently discovered Bayard and their series of <A HREF="http://www.Storyboxbooks.com" REL="nofollow">StoryBoxBooks</A>, <A HREF="http://www.Adventureboxbooks.com" REL="nofollow">AdventureBoxBooks</A> and <A HREF="http://www.Discoveryboxbooks.com" REL="nofollow">DiscoveryBoxBooks</A> (which has a special focus on teeth!) They have work by acclaimed children's books illustrator Helen Oxenbury appearing in the Storybox series for September. In addition to this, they also have some great activities for rainy days: <A HREF="http://www.storyboxbooks.com/potatoprinting.php" REL="nofollow">http://www.storyboxbooks.com/potatoprinting.php</A>, <A HREF="http://www.adventureboxbooks.com/macaroni-picture-frames.php" REL="nofollow">http://www.adventureboxbooks.com/macaroni-picture-frames.php</A>, <A HREF="http://www.discoveryboxbooks.com/skittles.php" REL="nofollow">http://www.discoveryboxbooks.com/skittles.php</A> Enjoy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493014498567139094.post-28790824704388731112008-08-25T09:34:00.000-04:002008-08-25T09:34:00.000-04:00There are several I like, because they bring back ...There are several I like, because they bring back happy childhood memories. Santaberry and the Snard (obscure), The Beast in the Bathtub, and Maurice Sendak's In the Night Kitchen. My dad also read me Little Critter books all the time. They're cute. We have been stocking up on children's books too, even though Suzi will rip them to shreds and eat them right now. She loves board books, though.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02154415218933660079noreply@blogger.com
