Deion is very creative and imaginative. Fantasy books would be something Deion would like because of the magic and supernatural storylines.

Deion likes to look at the illustrations of books so I think graphic novels will be interesting to him. Graphic novels use images to tell the story with some text to lead the story.

When walking around the class during morning work, Deion would tell me about the books he checked out from the library. He would read the funny title and go page by page looking at the images. He would enjoy these books because they are funny.

I read Deion the Giant Squid and he enjoyed looking at the images. I also noticed when the teacher asked students to choose books Deion gravitated towards animal books, specifically marine animals.

Deion loves to talk about superheroes during the lessons I planned for my emergent literature class. I had printed out superhero coloring sheets for him and we talked about his favorite superhero, Iron Man.

Description

The second in a hilarious young graphic novel series about Pizza and Taco. This time around Pizza and Taco are bored, so they decide to throw an awesome party! What could possibly go wrong?

Pizza and Taco have the oh-so-relatable problem of not knowing what to do when boredom strikes. The answer? Throw a party! They have a location, a guest list, and decorations. Everything is perfect . . . until it isn't. In fact, it's kind of a DISASTER! Ice Cream has a meltdown, and who knew Hamburger was lactose intolerant? (Who invited Cheeseburger anyway?) Well, now they know how NOT to throw a party!!

This hilarious young graphic novel--with chapters--will tickle the funny bones of kids ages 5-8 and bolster their reading confidence. Graphic chapter books serve as a great bridge to graphic novels and longer chapter books.

The game under the tree looked like a hundred others Peters and Judy had at home. But they were searching for something interesting to do, so they decided to give Jumanji a try.

This picture book classic from Chris Van Allsburg has been honored with many awards, including the Caldecott Medal. The surreal story also became the basis of multiple blockbuster film adaptations.
