Must Have Picture Books!!

 

Picture book linky party!!  Reading picture books to my students is one of my favorite things to do.  I love when we get lost in a book together.  The Teacher Wife is having everyone share their favorite picture books and link up!  Here are my top 5:

My son and I love Henry and Mudge so much that we named our dog Mudge!

 

 This book is so sweet.  Now One Foot, Now the Other reminds me of my son and my dad, I cry every time.

 

 Who doesn't LOVE Chrysanthemum?  I bet everyone can relate to her!

 

I probably should have made this my #1 pick because I get such a kick out of reading Caps for Sale.  The kids and I have so much fun with those monkeys!

 

 Click, Clack, Moo Cows that Type is a part of the greatest series of books!  I discovered all of them this spring with my first graders.  Nothing beats a great book series for getting kids

into reading!
