The Three Little Fish and the Big Bad Shark by Ken Giest This one is perfect because of the simple text and large illustrations!ģ. I am always surprised to find out that many of my students have never heard the story of the three little pigs, so I like to read it again but from a different author. The Three Little Pigs illustrated by Mei Matsuoka My older students (5-year-old Pre-K’s) can listen to the whole thing, but I often skip the ending section where the 3rd pig tricks the wolf for my younger (3 & 4-year-old) class.Ģ. This is our starter book – a classic version of the fairy tale with simple, colorful illustrations. Here are our 10 favorite books to read during The Three Little Pigs week. There are so many good ones to choose from! Since there’s no way we could read them all, we transform our dramatic play center into a Library where the students can check out their favorite book to take home. I introduce it during circle time, and then at the end of the day we enjoy reading different versions of the same story. We love to do an entire fairy tale unit where we study 1 fairy tale each week. Preschoolers love reading fairy tales! There’s something so exciting to a 4-year-old about having a “bad guy” in the story and they just can’t seem to get enough of it.

Burroughs' writing in itself makes this book absolutely fantastic. After reading through every twist and turn Augusten Burrough's life could throw at me, I can assure that his book is well worth the read. Mostly everyone should be able to relate to some aspect of this book and sympathize and learn from Burroughs. The reason why is because you do not have to be gay, an addict, or anything close to that. Dry tells of Burroughs' personal struggle with his drinking and even dips into his slightly demented childhood, filled with horrors that are shocking even to someone who has seen a lot. The book is really about his travel on this long road. In Dry, Augusten Burroughs describes certain parts of his life and those parts are generally pertaining to his struggle with alcoholism. However, he ironically lightens the mood by sprinkling some clever and offensive dark humor that everyone can chuckle at. Present through Burroughs' thoughts and experiences, this road are ones that can be extremely long and grueling. In Dry, Burroughs writes about his witty and funny yet serious and sad adventure along the road to sobriety. Have you ever wanted a clear window into the life an addict?

Their ordeal would last for twenty months, and they would make two near-fatal attempts to escape by open boat before their final rescue.ĭrawing upon previously unavailable sources, Caroline Alexander gives us a riveting account of Shackleton's expedition-one of history's greatest epics of survival.

Jolene scoffs, calling him a dreamer-he doesn’t live in the “real world” like she does. Soon he starts skipping Rec, creating a castle-like space of his own in the church lot. On his first day Ware meets Jolene, a tough, secretive girl planting a garden in the rubble of an abandoned church next to the camp. But then his parents sign him up for dreaded Rec camp, where he must endure Meaningful Social Interaction and whatever activities so-called “normal” kids do.
