Let's Look At Spring is a good non-fiction book for talking about the spring season. In class, we have been talking about the different changes that are happening as winter fades into spring. When we are outside each day, we are watching the buds on the shrubs around our playground to see when they change from brown to green (not yet!). This book talks about other signs to look for, like seeing robins.
What! Cried Granny is another of my all-time favourite stories. I have the text memorized because this was another of my son's preferred bedtime books and we read it every night for ages. It was also one of the first books that he could read completely by himself. This is a funny story about a boy staying overnight at his grandmother house and finds all kinds of ways to delay going to bed. The text has several repeated phrases that allows for a enjoyable read along style read aloud. The students love to yell out "What! Cried Granny". Whenever, I read aloud this story to a class at the end, there are always pleas for me to read it again. So, of course, we did!
