Alikai has two cats, both of which are very silly! This book talks of a meeting from the MEOW society, where cats from all over the country share their crazy stories. It is a chapter book with few illustrations among the pages. I think that this will be a good step for Alikai, as he can read a more chapter book style book, but also gets to see the illustrations he loves!

Alikai LOVES shark books! When him and I talked about Non-Fiction books, it was the first example he gave me on books that he likes to read. This book goes through different kinds of sharks and their anatomy, skills, etc. The book features many high quality pictures that have features to help Alikai improve his vocabulary and learn something new!

Tigers are one of Alikai's favorite animals, and this book talks of Jack and Annie who find themselves stuck in India. The book talks about the threat to the Tigers, and the poachers in the area. I think that Alikai would find it to be incredibly engaging for him, and a wonderful opportunity for him to grow as a reader, it is a chapter book!

Harriet the Spy is a chapter book that takes place in New York City, a city that Alikai has visited and loved. It is a mystery book, where Harriet loses her notebook. However, the premise is about how important your words are, and making sure that you are being kind to your friends and family.

After asking Alikai who has favorite author was, he exclaimed "Mickey Mouse!" I think that this book would be really interesting for him to learn about Walt Disney, and the story of Mickey Mouse. Alikai has been to Disney World once, so I believe that this would be really engaging for him. I think that the dialogue would provide a new skill for him to practice, there are speech bubbles!

Alikai told me of the time that he visted New York City, and had a wonderful time. He recalls Time Square, the M&M store, all of the people, etc. This book, originally from the 60's, is one that I think Alikai would love to look at. It has incredibly interesting pictures that will keep him engaged and reflective on his time in the city.

Alikai loves superheros, so this picture book is one that I think he would love. It talks of the bad days that super heroes os can have, and how they are just like us. This is one book that I think Alikai will love to read, as it would hopefully motivate him and remind him how the people he idolizes are just like him.

"Filled with diverse characters, from caped crusaders to badly behaving villains . . . Full of action and vibrancy . . . A good way to soothe bad days away." - School Library Journal When Superheroes don't get their way, when they're sad, when they're mad, when they've had a bad day . . . . . . they COULD super-tantrum, they COULD but they DON'T, because REAL Superheroes just WOULDN'T-they WON'T! "An action-packed romp." - Kirkus Reviews "[A] lighthearted exposé on how a group of superheroes deal with their frustrations . . . A spoonful of superheroes certainly helps the message go down." - Booklist

All kids have trouble getting a grip on their emotions, sometimes-even young superheroes! But what do they do when they're having a bad day? Colorful action-packed illustrations and a dynamite rhyming text reveal the many ways superheroes (and ordinary children, too) can resist the super-temptation to cause a scene when they're sad, mad, frustrated, lonely, or afraid. From burning off steam on a bike or a hike, to helping others, this energetic picture book has plenty of fun ideas to help kids cope when they're feeling overwhelmed.

Alikai has both dogs and cats, both he loves equally. I really love this book, as it is set up in the sense that there is paragraph reading as well as detailed photos and captions. It talks about big cats (which I know Alikai loves!), as well as wolves to teach about the ancestry.

Iron Man is Alikai's favorite super hero. This book provides the backstory of who Iron Man is, and teaches him about how he came to have super powers. I think that this would be really interesting for him to read and compare to the movie, which he has seen with his brother.

Following Iron Man, Alikai loves Superman. This book is the same style as the Walt Disney book with speech bubbles. The pictures and the speech bubbles would be really engaging for Alikai to read, and one that I think he would enjoy.

Another Magic Treehouse option (these books were my favorite when I was Alikai's age!), this book talks of Jack and Annie as they make their way through Africa. There are all kinds of animals like wildebeests, birds, and most notably... lions! While they are not Tigers or Cheetahs, I think that Alikai will find these big cats interesting.

Very Similar to Superman, Alikai told me that Batman is one of his favorite movies. This book has the same author as Superman, I think that it would be really interesting to compare this book to one of the movies. Unfortunately, there are many movies so it might not be one that he has seen, but it will provide him with lots of background information on Batman's story.

Although written by a different author, this is illustrated by the same person. These illustrations are some that I think Alikai will love to look at and infer as he reads.

Fry Bread! One of my favorite books. I did my Concept of Print Assessment with this book with Alikai, and he immediately fell in love with the pictures. He loved describing them to me and making inferences about what was occurring in the illustrations. I had to include this book for him.

Alikai LOVES video games. HE frequently refers to the video games that he plays with his brother. This is a chapter book that would work great as a book to read with his older brother. The book's plot is centered around a normal brother-sister duo, that finds themself trapped in a video game.

Rogue video games. A secret agency to keep the peace. And a couple of kids in suits.

Max and Zoe are totally normal kids. As normal as kids get, anyway. They go to school. They come home and play video games. They put off their chores as long as they can. But all that changes when they're home alone one evening and Zoe defeats the final boss in a secret game Max was able to crack. characters lurking in video games. Everyone knows that. But did you know they sometimes get out? Enter our world? Can you imagine? Thank goodness for us, Video Game Agents exist to keep the peace. We continue to live our blissful little lives, unknowing the dangers that lurk around every corner because the VGA is here to save the day. (It's a secret agency, though, so don't tell anyone about it.)

Ding dong! The doorbell rings. They know they aren't allowed to answer the door when their dad's gone. Every kid knows that. But all rules go out the window when a package is delivered, then shortly after a countdown timer that reads: "This package will disappear in: 10... 9... 8..."

From the best selling authors, Pixel Ate, known for The Accidental Minecraft Family and Pokémon-inspired Hatchamob series, comes a brand new, high action, crazy fun, keep-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat, un-put-downable (yeah, that's a thing) series called Video Game Agents. We're talking monsters. We're talking zombies. We're talking aliens. We're talking characters from video games everywhere that mingle worlds with our own, and kids with cool gadgets, crazy good fashion sense, and witty personalities get to save the day.

VGA is written for kids 8-12 years old who love video games and reading. Or even just video games. They don't have to love reading yet-this book will help them with that.

Max and Zoe have to act quickly. With no-one in sight, they throw open the door. The second they rip open the package, they pop out of existence and into the digital world of...

Like I said previously, Alikai loves video games. I chose this book for him after reading that the plot is where a boy's entire class is online. He acts as his own "avatar", and the book takes you through his experiences in a video game classroom. This is a chapter book that I think Alikai would be interested by, as he claims that his favorite part of his school day is lunch and recess.

Alikai has many favorite video games, one of which is Minecraft. To be honest, I had never heard of this so he had enthusiastically explained it to me. I found this book and think it would be a perfect fit for Alikai. It is a chapter book that tells the story of a family getting stuck in the video game. Alikai has a close relationship with his family, so I think that this book would be incredibly engaging for him.

Another game I had never heard of, Among Us, is something that Alikai loves to play on his phone. Among Us is a simple game, with little character development.

I found a read aloud on a chapter from the book: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1GcHDpHM90 This book tells the story of a kid who hates video games, but ends of getting trapped in one and must find his way out. Although it is not related to a game like Among Us, Fortnite, or Minecraft, I think that this book will be engaging for Alikai as he will be able to create his own idea in his head of the video game, allowing him to use his imagination.
