This book is an American classic, and rightfully so. This book includes complex characters as well as vocabulary. This text can be used in an upper elementary (4th/5th grade) group contingency setting where students of different reading levels are put together to read aloud to each other.

Lilly and the Purple Plastic Purse by Kevin Henkes

This text would be appropriate for students in the 1st, maybe 2nd grade. Every child has something they love, so they could bring it in for show and tell one day and explain why they love it. We can refer to what happens to Lilly if they cannot keep it in their desk until showing time

Llama Llama books can be used to teach rhyming, but I also think they can be used to teach children same sounds with phonic. A lesson can be created by using certain sounds for some activities, and then changing centers for a different sound combination.

Because of the different voices in this book, interrupting chicken would be a book second graders could work on their prosody with, perhaps through a reader's theater.

One Crazy Summer is about three sisters who visit their mother during a time of civil right. Because of some of the harsh elements of this book, I would recommend it for either 5th, maybe 6th grade. It would be a nice way to incorporate a "first person" view during a critical time in the country.

How Animal's Build by Moria Butterfield and Tim Hutchinson

# data[].attributes.body
This book would be great to encompass around 5th grade, because it is talking about different habitats. This book might seem juvenile with flaps and fold out pages, but there is so much information on the page, the older students can use one habitat to create a diaphragm with a group. They would then present to the class about that habitat to tie into a science lesson

George Hogglesberry, Grade School Alien by Sarah Wilson

George is a new student at his school with one problem; he's an alien! The fall play is approaching, and the class must find a way for Georges antics to fit in. The students can work together to find solutions to George's problems, and then act them out for the other students. This can also be a book about kindness, and I think it is suitable for the beginning of the year in 1st grade.

Who wants a cheap rhinoceros? by Shel Silverstein

# data[].attributes.body
Shel Silverstein writes books in a way that makes them easy to read. However he does encompass vocabulary for younger audiences, about kindergarten. Since his illustrations are black and white, I would make them coloring pages. Instead of a color by number, I would place vocabulary found throughout the book on objects found on the pages. Then, I would place a word on the board. A class discussion would open up to what they word means, and then the students would color that word that matches a specific color on their page.

This book would be great for a read aloud in a first grade classroom. The could learn colors and creativity, as well as begin to understand letter composition.

This book has no pictures, which is exactly why this is a perfect choice for students who are working on phonic. The student's will sound out the words to know what the book says. An activity I think 2nd or 3rd graders would find it fun if they were to create their own "Crazy words" and have the other students guess what it says.

This book can be used in a third grade classroom to learn to write the different parts of the letter. This could also be a sublesson on kindness, and how you treat other people affect them.

This book is a simple book that I believe 2nd graders could independently read. I think it would be good to use for fluency and prosody, as well as different dialects and voices.

Feather is about a young girl who fights with her siblings. Through training, she becomes tough enough to fight them, and learns the lesson that sometimes, being dainty is a good thing. This book would be a good individual read for a 3rd or 4th grade leveled reader.

This book is a good read a loud book, and also allows onomatopoeia to be introduced early, around kindergarten age. With a discussion, we can talk about different sounds students might hear in the night.

# data[].attributes.body
This book has some complex vocabulary in it, however I would not use it as a vocabulary book. Although I may pick out simpler vocabulary, but that would not be the main purpose. This could be used by students individually to add the amount of cats, or even just working on point and count skills with preschoolers as a group.

The Town that Fooled the British; a war of 1812 story by Lisa Papp

The Town that Fooled the British; a war of 1812 story by Lisa Papp

# data[].attributes.body
Papp writes this story from the angle of a young boy who helps his father in a time of war. It is with his genius idea  that the soldiers fool the British Army and save the town. This book can be incorporated into a history lesson about the war of 1812 in late elementary school, or early middle. An activity that can be used would be to have the students do a writing activity to come up with a way they can "protect the town".

This story is about saving money for a chair, which I believe can be intertwined into a math lesson with young elementary students. After reading, the students can draw and describe an item they would like to save up for to buy. Then, during math we can learn to count money and how much it would cost for the item they want.

Mo Willems is a favorite children's author of mine because his stories have good plot lines, and just enough words. This book is nice for 1st graders to work on their reading aloud skills.

The Magic School Bus; Lost in the Solar System by Joanna Cole

# data[].attributes.body
This is a book that can be tangled with a science lesson since it is over the solar system. The students in the book answer questions they originally posed, and I would like my 2nd/3rd grade students to do the same. Ask a question they would like answered, then we would work together to answer the questions they came up with.

Bill in a China Shop rhymes, so with this, I believe a first grade classroom could independently read this text to work on their fluidity.
