Just dropping a few fun books that we enjoyed over the Spring and Summer months. I got busy and forgot to take pictures of some of the other favorite books we read, but here are several.
Because Amelia Smiled (David Ezra Stein) was a beautiful book about how a simple smile can effect so many other lovely things that you will likely never know about, but which in some way will return to you.
Flowers (Gail Gibbons) was a beautiful book about flowers-duh! We used it in a little unit study on flowers and it was beautiful and informative.
Abraham Lincoln (Amy L. Cohn) was a neat picture book biography.
Francis Scott Key and "The Star Spangled Banner" (Lynea Bowdish) was another wonderfully done and beautifully illustrated picture book boiography.
The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind (William Kamkwamba and Bryan Mealer) was a really neat picture book biography that we picked up as well.
The Boo-Boos that Changed the World (Barry Wittenstein) was a neat book about the accidental invention of the band-aid.
The Gift that I Can Give (Kathie Lee Gifford) was a sweet book about the gifts that each of us have to offer and how special and unique we are.
Some Pig! (shortened verison of E.B. White's Charlotte's Web) was a wonderful book that the kids really enjoyed reading and looking through (such sweet pictures!) after we read aloud the full version of Charlotte's Web during the school year.
A Boy, A Bear, A Balloon (Brittany Rubiano) was a beautiful book inspired by the recent Disney movie Christopher Robin. I have yet to see the movie, but the book was sweet.
Picture a Tree (Barbara Reid) draws you into a lovely thought process about trees through seasons and from different angles.
