I would use this book in a classroom to talk about hygiene and that it is important to take care of yourself. You will feel better if you take care of yourself and your body. It is a fun way to introduce a topic that children may not realize is important yet!

This is a great picture book to use in the classroom for a fun story. The illustrations are amazing. It includes repetition, so maybe it could be used in the classroom to make predictions!

I would use this in my classroom on the first day or first week of school. It's a great way to set a positive, safe, and welcoming learning environment for your classroom. It will allow students to feel comfortable with their name and other differences. Be comfortable with themselves and know that everyone accepts them for who they are.

The children were very sorry the bird was dead and could never fly again. But they were glad they had found it, because now they could dig a grave in the woods and bury it.

The illustrations look like cartoons, which is a good way to keep children fascinated. I thought this book was simple and easy to follow. It talks about the hard topic of death with a bird. But it can show children how to make light of something sad. I would read this to my class.

blurb

The Dead Bird | Margaret Wise Brown

This book does a great job at not “dumbing“ a topic down just for children. It talks about the death of a bird and how the children made a funeral for it. It's a great way for children to understand death and not beat around the bush with this topic.

The illustrations in this book were very simple and realistic to the way children probably draw. It was pleasing to look at, not too much was on the page for distractions. I would use this book in a classroom!

Plant the Tiny Seed | Christie Matheson

I would use this book in the classroom for an interactive lesson on plants and nature/outdoors. It is interactive for the children, it tells them to clap before the next page to see it rain and the next page is rainy. I think this is cool for children because they feel involved in the reading and familiar with the content.

First Day, Hooray! | June Sobel

I would use this book during the first week of school to get rid of the first day “jitters“. It can help children not feel alone with their emotions and know that theirs other people out there feeling all the emotions too! This would contribute to a great lesson on emotions as well because it describes some instances where people feel certain emotions.

Smoky Night | Eve Bunting, David Diaz

I think this would be great for teaching children about danger and riots. It shows how Daniel saw a riot outside his home and it could give kids insight on how to handle being in a situation like that and what to do. It can also help some children who have been through experiences like this relate to the child in the book.
