Spring Books

Springtime is vastly approaching and the library could use some awesome suggestions of "Spring Books". I am requesting book examples from each grade level teacher for our elementary students from Pre-Kindergarten to Fifth. I am requesting that each teacher suggest one book which has something to do with Spring. Please give a brief description of the book and any other details you feel are important so that I may choose some great books to have readily available for the students...Thanks!!!

    Two great books that can be included in your Spring library are Caterpillar Spring Butterfly Summer by Susan Hood and Ten Little Ladybugs by Melanie Gerth. Each of these pieces have a great way of introducing insects in a fun way, while incorporating other academia aspects. One promotes counting and the other rhyming. These are fabulous read alouds and would make a wonderful addition to your library.

      Thanks Alana for the two awesome book suggestions for my Spring library. Both books sound like great additions to my classroom library and I am sure the students will enjoy reading and learning about these wonderful insects. Thanks again...

    I came across two books, appropriate for 4-8 year olds, that would be great for a spring library. Summer Birds: The Butterflies of Maria Merian, by Margarita Engle, is a true story about a young girl who lived during the Middle Ages and took time to observe and learn about the butterfly life cycle. By doing this, she disproved a theory that went back to the times of ancient Greece. Another book is The Ugly Vegetable, by Grace Lin, which is about a little girl who is trying to have a beautiful garden with flowers like her neighbors. However, her mom's garden has unattractive vegetables. In the end, the vegetables are harvested and are made into a soup that everyone in the neighborhoods wants to taste.

    Thanks Nancy for your book suggestions! I love the idea of a book based on a girl who lived in the Middle Ages. I definitely believe my students would enjoy The Ugly Vegetable and we could have a great discussion about this book.
