I think a fall-themed book would be fun, but all of these are geared towards pre-k, k-1 readers so would be great for an interactive read aloud! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-book-should-i-read-to-charlies-pre-k-class#post-1127258 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 20:22:21 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1127258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooh I know a good "sounds" book!

The illustrations in the second are amazing and it's got a repeating story structure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-book-should-i-read-to-charlies-pre-k-class#post-1127201 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 19:51:02 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1127201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure if its too controversial, but my son loves "I want my hat back" ...

I used to want to feast in the tub, because who wouldn't? :)</p> <p>I love all of these recommendations! Can't wait to build our library!</p> <p>@mrbee: I hope you like it! The pictures became "I Spy" games for us. I'd love to hear what your kids think! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-book-should-i-read-to-charlies-pre-k-class#post-1127176 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 19:36:02 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1127176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: That is a fabulous book. It has always reminded me of Ellie, who would stay in the tub for-ever if no one made her get out. Both of our girls love it! </p> <p>Some of our favorite read-alouds are by Chris Van Allsburg. Ellie particularly likes Probuditi! This Is Not My Hat is also a really fun book. We really enjoyed the book Under Ground by Denise Fleming-- at the end there is a really nice explanation of all the creatures on the previous pages. It's a nice companion to outdoor play, because we have encountered many of the creatures in our exploration. The Jane Yolen/Mark Teague Dinosaur books are favorites around here, and are fun for younger school-aged kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-book-should-i-read-to-charlies-pre-k-class#post-1127173 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 19:33:31 +0000 mrbee 1127173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mossyslane: @LovelyPlum: @Mrs. Jacks: @sandy: </p> <p>Awesome recommendations...
