My classroom's favorite book

Our class (ages 18 months - 4 years) love this book. They had me read it nearly every day and usually at least three times. They chose it on their own so often that the younger children tore the book and it had to be replaced. But even before we got our replacement we had the book memorized. I would say the parts of the book that were missing and the children would all say the refrain "But the Baby cired!" with me.

This is one of my favorite books to read to my students.  And every time I read it, the students are very excited.  She's an explorer, she asks questions, she's confident, she is her own person, and she uses science in a fun way.  The words flow nicely together and the overall themes behind the story are great for teaching students about following their passions, asking questions, and self-exploration.  Great book!  I've read this to 1st and 2nd grade students with great success.

THis is one of my favorite all time books. Students love predicting what will happen next and are not bothered by the rather simplistic illustrations. I love to extend this book by having students write their own Fortunately, Unfortunately book.

One of my absolute favorite books to share with my students.  I still believe in the importance of the dictionary. In addition, I love what these kids do in this story, with a little motivation, ownership, and confidence to make a difference.  I also have a special connection with this book and my own 5th grade teacher, Mr. Roger Close, who gifted me a dictionary.  If I recall, several different dictionaries were sent to our school and we were assigned the task of using, reviewing, and providing feedback about each dictionary.  Mr. Close went on to gift several of us 5th graders a dictionary that we enjoyed the most, as long as we would use it.  I loved the dictionary I received because it had colorful pictures in it and the print was larger.  I still have that dictionary today....35 years later.

Andrew Clements is a great author as well.

My 2 years old niece and 4 year old nephew love this book.  When I walk into their house it's the first book they want me to read to them. So cute, they have it memorized and still anxiously anticipate what comes next.  My son is a first grade teacher and said that his 6/7 year old students love it also.

The repetative text and calming illustrations of this classic are why my preschool class loves this book! It is easy to read again and again. Their favorite part is when the bed breaks. This book makes their list of top 5 books ever! I recommend the "Big Book" format so everyone can enjoy the beautiful pictures to the fullest.

I have a group of students who are hooked on these books, so I bought the set for my classroom. They are passing them to each other, and reading and talking about them as they finish each one.  Great addition to my classroom book selection.

I'm an English teacher who has an extensive in-class library for my students, who read for fun every day in my class. I read this over winter break and I can't wait to add it to the library.  They've going to line up to read this book!  I just ordered the rest of Roux's books, which I'll read then add.  Nice to find new high-interest novels for my kids!

This book is amazing!  I have my  classroom decorated with the 7 habitats and this book is a perfect fit for talking about animals from all the habitats!

I am a Pre-School Teacher, so this book has had hundreds of reviews in my classroom. This is a book that children never tire of hearing. It speaks to the heart of both children and adults. I wore out a paperback that I had stumbled across, and had to have this in a hardback that would withstand the use it gets. I love it! It brings the class together, talking about their dreams. Each one feeling a part of the whole class. Just like Mr. Pinkwater, we can all problem solve in our own way. Bravo Mr. Pinkwater, and your neighborhood of friends.

I first read this book when I started teaching over 20 years ago. I never owned a copy but loved the story and have told it numerous times over the years and my students absolutely love it. There's lots of room for actions and voice intonation. It's a fun way to learn about the primary and secondary colors in a great imaginary way. It's got to be one of the best written books. Finally I decided after all these years to try to locate a copy of it and have my own to use in my classes. I'm thrilled to finally have my own copy. I found one for sale on Amazon over $200 but was glad I didn't pay that much for my copy.

This is probably my favorite book as a child. This book came with a 45 record. I remember listening to the record over and over, and following along in the book. I forgot about this book, until I had a chance to be a  mystery reader in my son's 1st grade class. The Teacher asked to bring in  one of my son's favorite books or one of mine, this instantly brought back  the fond memories of " Tikki Tikki Tembo", hopefully this will  become one of my son's favorites, and his classmates will also enjoy.

I am an elementary school librarian and have been reading this to my kids for quite a few years.  They love it! No matter how many different schools I am transferred to! I tell them that they have to look at the pictures while I'm reading the book.  Their eyes widen and they laugh and howl, as if they actually believe that the pictures could be real.  Best for early elementary k-3 grades. I look forward to reading it every year to the kids.

This has been one of the most popular books in my 6th grade classroom library this year.  My students, as is to be expected, are very curious about their bodies, and about the bodies of the opposite sex.  This book does a nice job of explaining how things work, along with delving into feelings and the ins and outs of being a maturing girl.  As I said, it's so popular that I can't seem to keep it on the shelf in my classroom. The book has sparked numerous healthy conversations about development and has given me many opportunities to dissolve myths that are pervasive in the minds of young people.  It's a good resource, and kids relate well to the writing style and graphics.
