Pickle-Chiffon Pie	One of my Super Colleagues showed me this fairy tale and I freaking heart it! It is super cute and a much needed change of pace from reading #300 of Cinderella
	Leonardo, the Terrible Monster (Ala Notable Children's Books. Younger Readers (Awards))	I thought we get started with some of my all time faves. I totally heart this book AND Mo Willems!! Not only is it funny, but it leads to some good discussion
	The Big Orange Splot	This is an old fave! Fab for an art connection, great for a chat on community, or just perfect for a talk on being yourself. Heart it!
	Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type	Maybe I'm late to the party, but I just discovered this book. Hi-larious! And great for showing children the power their writing can have...
	The Paper Bag Princess (Classic Munsch)	I totally heart this fairy tale. It is PERFECT for those days when you want to rock the read aloud, but don't want to deal with the "I read that before!" that
	The Umbrella	This book is gorgeous! The illustrations, the story...heart it all. Jan Brett is great for some guided prediction work too.
	Oink?	I think this one is hilarious!! Totally have your friends infer what these pigs are thinking...I love the way those pigs operate!
	The Three Questions [Based on a story by Leo Tolstoy]	Totally a trippy book, but something I would consider giving an adult as a gift (because we all know adults love to receive children's books as gifts, right?)
	Woolbur	So cute! Great for a chatty read aloud!! I heart Woolbur!
	Stephanie's Ponytail (Annikins)	I heart this book intensely. Not only is it HILARIOUS, but it has an important lesson about being your own person. Fab.
	Mr. Willowby's Christmas Tree	A holiday fave. It's cute, it rhymes, there's a bit of a predictable pattern to the text - what else could you want?
	The Old Woman Who Named Things	Friends, I loves me some Cynthia Rylant. This story is sweet. And lovely. The perfect read a loud for a grumpy day ('cuz we all know we have them...)
	The Other Side	Get ready for deep talks people! This book has a wonderful story, beautiful illustrations and is full of fabulous book talk opportunities.
	Edwina, The Dinosaur Who Didn't Know She Was Extinct	1. I heart Mo Willems. 2. The main character is named Reginald VonHoobieDoobie. 3. I love a book about unlikely friendships.
	The Colors of Us	One of my favorite books of all time! I always use this at the start of the school year...and then we mix paint colors for each other. And I cry. A little.
	Yesterday I Had the Blues	This is a FAB book to use if you LOVE teaching art to your kiddos! It connects colors with emotions and is GOR-JUICE! Purchase immediately.
