With all the concerns for the #coronavirus, I thought it would be fun for the Kinders and Firsties to re-visit David Shannon’s A BAD CASE OF THE STRIPES! The students have steadily checked out the NO! DAVID books, so I know the author is a favorite of theirs. - 📚. Have you ever re-visited a picture book you loved? Even though the good majority of the classes have read it before, they absolutely adored how Camilla’s skin changed colors and patterns. And the fact that the Principal thought she had to stay at home because it may be contagious! - 📚. 📚. 📚. #elementaryschoollibrary #easyreader #picturebooks #favoritebooks #davidshannon #firstgradebooks #kindergartenbooks #libraryshelves #bookstagram #currentlyreading #readalouds #lessonplans #bookflatlay #classicchildrensbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B9kNjIMAwy5/?igshid=10jm64k7uvt4c

Reading Zoe’s Hall’s THE APPLE PIE TREE to classes yesterday made me all nostalgic for when my kids were little and we read it. It’s a great way to teach Kinder-1st about bees, pollination and the seasonal cycle of fruit trees. - 📚. The other book was a great find in the library when you need a Thanksgiving themed book for 4th-6th grade. It’s full of history and facts. Did you know that in the U.S., we consume 80 million pounds of cranberries on Thanksgiving? Such fun having classes estimate! - 📚. I am so ready for a break especially because it involves having all the kiddos under one roof! Let the baking begin! - 📚. 📚. 📚. #elementaryschoollibrary #librarysubstitute #libraryshelves #thanksgivingbooks #childrensbooks #whatiread #picturebooks #childrensnonfiction #booklr #bookreviewer #booktuber #substituteteacher #bookreview https://www.instagram.com/p/B5V2qQNgDkY/?igshid=tipcm7ci6tte

Working at a new-to-me elementary school, and a book captured my attention. What do you know, it has realism in it! I’m going to have to check it out from my library. - 📚. SYNOPSIS: Sticks & Stones by Abby Cooper is a feel-good middle grade debut with just a dash of magic... - ✨. Ever since she was a baby, the words people use to describe Elyse have instantly appeared on her arms and legs. At first it was just "cute" and "adorable," but as she's gotten older and kids have gotten meaner, words like "loser" and "pathetic" appear, and those words bubble up and itch. And then there are words like "interesting," which she's not really sure how to feel about. - ✨. Now, at age twelve, she's starting middle school, and just when her friends who used to accept and protect her are drifting away, she receives an anonymous note saying "I know who you are, and I know what you're dealing with. I want to help." As Elyse works to solve the mystery of who is sending her these notes, she also finds new ways to accept who she is and to become her best self. - 📚. Don’t you love how a random glance at a book can lead you down an Add-to-My-TBR rabbit hole? What book has surprised you lately? - 📚. 📚. 📚. #bookstagram #bookreview #middlegradebooks #middlegradefiction #elementaryschoollibrary #librarysubstitute #booktuber #bookreviewer #tbr https://www.instagram.com/p/B4lQgXqg7mA/?igshid=13ri6qt29o8ao

Subbing at one of my very favorite schools, and the librarian left such great, classic reads for the Kinder classes. - 📚. I remember reading DAVID GOES TO SCHOOL to my kiddos. What I didn’t know is that David Shannon based the stories on a book he made when he was in elementary school, and the book consisted of drawings of David doing things he wasn’t supposed to do with only the words “No David” printed on the page. The series of children’s books is one that all Kinder classes love. - 📚. I always tell my classes to read Author’s Notes! You find out all sorts of information. - 📚. 📚. 📚. #bookstagram #libraryshelves #elementaryschoollibrary #substitutelibrarian #childrensbooks #kindergartenbooks #harperkids #blueskypress #readaloudbooks #librarianlife #booklr #kidsbooks #earlyreaders #firstdayofschoolbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B19RzWugZ4o/?igshid=1x2y3yq2mw62m

I’m having so much fun reading picture books that are new to me when I sub. It was a pleasure to meet Alma Sofia Esperanza José Pura Candela - a small girl with a really long name. I, also, loved reading the Author’s Note to my Kinder - 2nd classes, because we all found out why the book was written in the first place! - 📚. If you have those early grades in your life, be sure to check this book out from the library or buy it from your local bookstore. The adorableness of the illustrations really makes the point that are given name is one we should proudly wear. - 📚. Especially if your family is ethnic and they give you a name that may be a bit hard to pronounce. I’m not thinking of anyone particular in our family. Ahem. Katarina. Not Katrina. - 📚. 📚. 📚. #picturebooks #elementaryschoollibrary #schoollibrary #caldecott #caldecotthonor #juanamartinezneal #candlewickpress #childrensbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B1uKquAg7D8/?igshid=1a8el740tklhw

Trying to find some books for that substitute librarian bag of mine. I picked this one up on a whim. - 📚. Synopsis: In a small town on the banks of Lake Laloozee lives the world's greatest flamingo detective. His name is Fabio. He's not tall or strong, but slight and pink. And he's very, very clever.It's the height of summer and Fabio and his associate Gilbert are taking a relaxing holiday journey on the fastest train in the world! But no sooner does the conductor call 'All aboard' than a very expensive ruby necklace disappears and the great detective is back on the case!The second book in the hilarious illustrated mystery series by the author of Captain Pug. - 📚. Sounds promising for 2nd and 3rd grade classes. I promise to report back and let you know. - 📚. 📚. 📚. #bookstagram #earlyreaders #schoollibrary #elementaryschoollibrary #schhollibrarian #childrensbooks #books #booktuber #bookish #booklr #booksandcoffee #substitutelibrarian #bloomsburykids #laurajames https://www.instagram.com/p/B1rIE25gg5k/?igshid=yvamsno5g9g5

My girls adored the Babymouse series, and when we went to ALA (many years ago), they got to meet Jenny L. Holm. She handed them this story. I remember reading this sweet, perfect-for-tweens book with them. - 📚. If you’re looking for a middle grade read, start with this one. - 📚. 📚. 📚. #middlegradebooks #bookreviewer #booktuber #randomehousekids #elementaryschoollibrary #substitutelibrarian #jenniferlholm #readaloudbooks #thismomreads https://www.instagram.com/sophieriggsby/p/BxBq6eMnZCS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16bv61l0rgs6k
