Five Great Picture Books Your Students Will Love

Here are five picture books that your students (and you) will love.

5. The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers
*What happens when Duncan wants to color, but his crayons have quit?

4. The Girl Who Never Made Mistakes by Gary Rubinstein and Mark Pett
*Beatrice NEVER makes mistakes... until now.  Her first mistake!  How will she deal with it?  A great book for those students who do not do well when they make a mistake.

3. Creepy Carrots! by Aaron Reynolds and Peter Brown
*Jasper Rabbit loves carrots.  He eats them all of the time.  But... have the carrots started following him??

2. Dear Deer by Gene Barretta
*A fun homophone book that will get kids thinking about language and the meaning of words.

1. That Is Not a Good Idea! by Mo Willems
*A hilarious cautionary tale! 

I personally really enjoy all of these books and I'm looking forward to reading them to my students in the first week.  Who doesn't enjoy a funny book?
