Welcome to Litsy!

I‘ve read a couple of these books with my niece, so I knew I was going to pick this duo for #2peasinapod

Let‘s Go for a Drive by Mo Willems is an animal fantasy story that was awarded with the Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Book award. The story is about a pig named Piggie and an elephant named Gerald that decide they want to go for a drive, but before they leave for their drive they want to gather a few things to bring. They need a map, sunglasses, and umbrellas and they sing together as they pack their things. They later realize they don‘t have a car,

Gerald and Piggie decide they want to go for a drive. Gerald is a very cautious elephant and makes sure they bring all their necessities for their trip. Each time Gerald suggests a new item they will need, Piggie claims, “I have that”, and quickly returns with two of each item. Eventually, after packing all of their necessities into bags, Gerald remembers that they will need a car, but neither Elephant nor Piggie has a car. 

This MF, Geisel Honor book is another great book by Mo Willems, which would be perfect to use for AS. This book is one from Willems‘ Elephant & Piggie series, about going for a drive, but being prepared and bringing everything they may need, like a map, sunglasses, etc.
With its simple and repetitive language, ESOL strategy 14 simplified language by making it slower and redundant, is used. #ucflae3414sp21

This award winning book from the Elephant and Piggie book series, MF-RA, with rhyming words and repetitive phases, is great for literary and fluency exercises, coral response activities. Proceeded by "I really like Stop!" and "Listen To My Trumpet!" This series of expressive books like, "Let's Go For A Drive!" The idea of a car trip is off-the-hook exciting. Elephant shouts, "GET THAT MAP!" And Piggie rushes off. Then the celebration ?"MAP!"

On word that Mo Willems‘ interactive exhibit is coming to museums across the country, I jumped up and hugged Gerald. He has a place of honor on top of my bookshelf. He was a gift from my next door neighbor, Brielle, after I introduced her to Elephant and Piggie. Her favorite is this book. Drive, drive, drive! #scenesfromabook #takeadrive

Thought you all should know before the librarians clean out all the stores. 😘

Seems like I don't read happy books. Unless I'm reading to my students. #happyreads #marchintoreading

Books like these #elephantandpiggie 🐘🐷 books are great for kiddos becoming more fluent in their reading and want to practice reading chapter books. These, and other Early Readers, have tons of pictures and a larger font. However, they look more like a chapter book than a picture book. They are also a great books for parents to read aloud to toddlers/preschoolers when wanting to make the transition to reading chapter books w them.

I love the imaginations of young children. This book captures that wonderfully.
