Books of the Week – March 6, 2010

The Ant and the Elephant, by Bill Peet:

This is by far our favorite this week, and I think will make it’s way into our top 20 favorites.  I can’t believe I haven’t seen or heard about this book before!  It’s a great story about being helpful and being thankful.  It would be great for a story sequencing activity too; there are a variety of animals that come along and end up needing help in various ways.  If only I had time to make up some story sequencing cards, sigh.  If you haven’t read this book, look for it – you won’t be disappointed!

The Roundabout Train, by Betty Ren Wright:
This is a cute book about a big diesel train that thinks he’s bigger, faster, and better than the other older trains.  He is taught a lesson about being friendly in a fun way.  M has been a bit boastful himself lately, so this was a good way to help him see how unpleasant that kind of behavior can be for others.
Have a beautiful day! :)
