    Perhaps the perfect children's bedtime book, Goodnight Moon is a short poem of goodnight wishes from a young rabbit preparing for--or attempting to postpone--his own slumber.

  • The Important Book

    by Margaret Wise Brown Year Published: Easy Reading
    The Important Book is a deceptively simple exercise--taking familiar things like an apple, spoon, or shoe, and finding the most basic association with those things. The most important thing about an apple? It is round. A spoon? You eat with it. A shoe? You put your foot in it. But why, according to Brown, is the most important thing about grass "that it is green," while the most important thing about an apple is "that it is round"? Why is "that it is white" the most important thing about snow and a daisy? Whether or not you'd distill these things in the same way that the author does, Brown makes us think about the essence of everyday entities in new ways. (Amazon Review by Karin Snelson) You can create your own version of Important things or people in your life and explain your thoughts on what is the most important thing about that item or person.

  • The Very Hungry Caterpiller

    by Eric Carle Year Published: Easy Reading
    A caterpillar eats his way through different foods until he is full and weaves a cocoon transforming into a beautiful butterfly. Charming colorful illustrations of foods along with the fat caterpillar and catchy little holes in the foods where the caterpillar "had his snack" make this book a hit with young children. Teaching Tie-ins: - Counting skills (Foods accumulate progressively) - The days of the week. - Nutrition (The best food for the caterpillar is the leaf, not the candy, cake, etc. or why we can't eat chocolate and candy all day long) - Intro to science and biology: It is a fun book with its' "holes" that have been eaten through the pages, and become a preschoolers introduction to science/biology when the little caterpillar turns into a beautiful butterfly. - Shapes (foods) (Amazon Review by: Maximillian Ben Hanan)
