Children's Book Reviews

Children's Book Reviews are key to having a library of materials in your hands to help build student achievement, promote reading and further develop comprehension skills.

I have read thousands of books through my years and have found that many are "fluff". This list is to help you find high content, great books to spend your time reading with your students.

I have included fiction and non-fiction titles. Most teachers try to have a balance of both in read alouds, shared reading, guided reading, and in their classroom library.

Read my thoughts on:

Cows in the Kitchen by June Crebbin and Katharine McEwen

Andrew's Loose Tooth by Robert Munsch

Splash! by Flora Mcdonnell

5 Little Monkeys

5 Green and Speckled Frogs

Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus by Mo Willams
