I never knew that jackie kennedy‘s wedding dress was pink

Ann said that if she had to enter through the back door, the bride and bridesmaids wouldn‘t be wearing her dresses for the wedding.
She entered through the front door.

I think that this story is a really important one because not many people know it, i didn‘t know it until i read this book. Ann didn‘t get any credit for the dresses that she made.

And then, as she had done so many times before, Wangari planted a tree.

I love how colorful all the images in this book are. This is my favorite book out of all of them because it was really touching at that point in the story

I really loved the message behind this book. This is about a young girl in Kenya who wants an education, she sees her brother go to school so she eventually makes it happen for herself. She ends up going to the United States to study but never forgets where she came from. She eventually returns to Kenya to help her country when she feels it needs help.

Sometimes disaster happens for a reason. Sometimes it says: “Follow a different path.”

this is my favorite picture in the book

This is another book where they have the story in english and then in another language. I think it‘s a really cool concept and it‘s unique. I also love their cultural importance this book has regarding Native Americans

the facial features in the artwork were really impressive

“When I jump up everyone sits. When I sit all the kids swing through the air.”

I really like how this book shows the story in english and spanish. This can help children that speak english learn a little bit of spanish but also it could really benefit english language learners.

It‘s difficult to tell if a worm or other simple animal is sleeping but we do know that all mammals and most reptiles sleep, and possibly dream

i like all the graphs and pie charts

this book gives a lot of facts and has a lot of illustrations that could be interesting for children. The labels and captions are really organized

I love how the pictures get even more detailed as the story goes on bc they get in more depth with their communication by picture

I loved this book the message of it is so touching and i think students will love it

“happily speechless”

“i am enough”

I liked how the illustrations were simple but also detailed when they needed to be

This book had a really good message and impact when it comes to diversity that i think many children will benefit from

“we only needed to trust and we did”

the illustrations in this book were amazing, the colors popped and it enhanced the story

I loved the story of this book it‘s inspiring and let‘s children someone see what it‘s like for an immigrant especially the story at the end

“We are not here to ask we are here to give”

the pictures remind me of the one artist that cuts out pictures

I really liked this book because it had a really good message when it comes to the concept of sharing.

“Tomorrow will come. They‘ll go back to their chore. They‘ll start on the road, Zizzer-Zoofing once more.”

I love his illustrations and use of color

Random House New York 1962
Dr Seuss is one of my favorite authors so i loved this book. I love the rhyming and now creative he is with his rhymes. This entertains children and makes the story so much more fun

“I put your tree by the front door to welcome you. I washed my face and combed my hair.”

the only thing i didn‘t really like about this book was the use of color in the illustrations. the colors were kind of dull and washed out

Macmillan Publishing Company 1994
I like how this book teaches small things about another culture. Simple things through the book like the use of “abuelito” can make children understand and think about different cultures

“These are the seedling that sprouted with the rain that wet the seeds that fell on the soil that made up the garden that jack planted.”

I really like the details in the drawings

Greenwillow Books 1995
I really like how educational this book is. Throughout the story i love how there are labels to inform what everything in the picture is that relates to the parts of the book. The only thing that could maybe make me not want to read this book to students is that i think students may lose interest

“You promised not to bite!”
“You promised not to sting!”

I really did enjoy the illustrations in this book it‘s very colorful

Roaring Book Press 2013
I liked this book but felt as if it ended kind of quick. I didnt really pick up a message from the book, but then again not every book needs a message i just think it‘s nice sometimes in children‘s book

“he‘ll want a muffin to go with it”

I love how many different versions there are of this story

HarperCollinsPublishers 1991
I really like the idea of a child interacting with an animal as big as a moose in this book. I think kids think the idea is fun and silly which entertains children

“he was a beautiful butterfly!”

This used to be one of my favorite books growing up. I love the illustrations

Philomena Books 1987
I love this book, it‘s one of my favorite children‘s book. I love how it‘s interactive which makes children even more interested in it.

“He distracted himself by imagining wonderful places and hospitable people who gave him delicious food, steaming hot and fragrant.”

I love the illustrations in this book and how colorful everything is

Folktale/Fable
Barefoot Books
Although this is a really long book, I think it was a really good read and would be a great read for a child old enough to comprehend it. I love how this book lets children hear a story from a different culture! There are many different fables in this book for kids to choose from

I love the illustrations in this book

“Out Goldilocks jumped, and ran away as fast as she could run-not looking behind her until she was very far away.”
