To bad all of our children don't think about going in to the world of imagination when they are send to their rooms.]]> 2018-03-07 01:52:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jjohns10/ib6u8hrc4564/wish/238970322 No, David! by David Shannon jjohns10 https://padlet.com/jjohns10/ib6u8hrc4564/wish/238970665 A sad story of the boy who is not allowed to make a mistake.
I hate this book with passion. The illustrations are scary and just plain weird. The only thing we find out it's what he's not allowed to do. It goes against positive guidance.]]> 2018-03-07 01:53:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jjohns10/ib6u8hrc4564/wish/238970665 Quick as a Cricketby Audrey Wood , Don Wood (Illustrator) jjohns10 https://padlet.com/jjohns10/ib6u8hrc4564/wish/238971448 Quick and slow, hot and cold.

We all grow and develop at different rates and it is OK. Even though this book covers social-emotional problem, it can be used as an introduction of wild animals. This is also very good example of personification. Beautifully illustrated.]]> 2018-03-07 02:04:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jjohns10/ib6u8hrc4564/wish/238972679 Tacky the Penguin by Helen Lester, Lynn Munsinger (Illustrator) jjohns10 https://padlet.com/jjohns10/ib6u8hrc4564/wish/238973163 Tacky is not an average penguin, he can be annoying, weird, sometimes funny, but just because he is different it does not mean that he cannot contribute.

She feeds children roadkill and garbage. This is a very personal book for me since I am a former cafeteria lady and it was a perfect book to read to my kindergartners at the beginning of each school year.

It is a restful and peaceful place, until... an uninvited guest shows up. A book with great rhythm and repetition, makes for an engaging retelling with props.]]> 2018-03-07 02:19:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jjohns10/ib6u8hrc4564/wish/238975127 The Three Pigs by David Wiesner jjohns10 https://padlet.com/jjohns10/ib6u8hrc4564/wish/240487299 Caldecott Medal Winner

Not your average three pigs. After the wolf is done blowing two out the three houses down the pigs build a paper airplane and escape into the world of books where they visit the cat and the fiddle and a dragon. After they get home the dragon blows the wolf away. The end.
