Many books by Todd Parr are great for the early grades in that they are written in easy to understand language, yet tackle big topics.  This book is a favorite of mine that can be read throughout the year that begins some wonderful conversations.  From a page that says something simple like, "sometimes I feel silly" to the more complex thought of "sometimes I feel like celebrating my birthday even though it's not today."

This is a fun book I read as a great review colors and shapes for 2, 3 and 4 year olds. It tells a tale of a friendly competition between colors and shapes and all the cool things they do for us.

The way this book uses steps in a process and memory makes it a math book in my classroom but clearly this book teaches cause and effect and comprehension strategies. I read it every year because it is fun and engaging.

This is classic book I read all year long. It fits into every category I have here except the first 2, but I use it as a wonderful tool to reinforce colors and shapes while having fun. I generally read the book on audio in a sing songy fashion.

I read this book every year at Halloween.  The first time I picked it up I thought the children might be scared, but that never happened.  The monster is silly and funny! The book ends then repeats itself backtracking what had happened in the story already.  Similar to the other book I am recommending--If You Give a Pig a Pancake--it has math concepts (steps in a process) but the way it encourages comprehension strategies with repetition, makes me consider it best for this category.  We usually do a related project right after reading this book and the children use materials to make their own monster.

I just recently read this with my three year old class when we were talking about small animals that live in ponds, like frogs, and fish and turtles.  The colorful photos kept their attention throughout the reading.

In the Pete the Cat series, this has been hands down my class favorite for many years. Pete loses the buttons on his coat and teaches us to count backward and forward to 4.

This fun repetitive book (the entire series are repetitive books) all about what Pete Does at School. This can be read all year long with the children and gives way to discussion the similarities of what Pete has fun doing at school and what we have fun doing at school.

I have read this book for every winter to my class for years. It is an engaging story of a boy who loses his mitten but when it is found by the forest animals, they all find a way to share it. http://www.penguin.com/children/

This book is great to read at the beginning of the year because it focuses so well on making friends and how good it feels to be giving and make others happy.
