Herman Parish is a well liked author in the Baltimore County and he collaborates with illustrator Lynne Avril in his book Amelia Bedelia Hits the Trail, a beginning reader level one. In this book Amelia goes on a hike with her class and while on her hike she misunderstands words that have two meanings or are pronounced differently when plural providing caregivers the opportunity to help their child with vocabulary and grammar.
The Berenstain Bear have always been some of my favorite books and there are so many more to choose from these days. The Berenstain Bears We Love Trucks! is written and illustrated by Jan and Mike Berenstain. In this book the cubs get to go on a drive with Grizzly Gramps to the farm where he is going to pick up fruit. On the drive the cubs get to see all sorts of different kinds of trucks while visiting people on the road. This level one beginning reader is great for anyone who likes the Berenstain Bears, but especially grrreat for those little ones who love trucks.
Mo Willems is popular and doesn't disappont with I Am Going! In this Elephant and Piggie book, Piggie decides that it's time to go and when he lets Elephant know, Elephant freaks out! Elephant is terrified that if Piggie goes he will have no one to hangout with. Elephant begs and pleads with Piggie to stay, but Piggie is determined to go. What is it that could be so important that Piggie must go? You'll have to read to find out.
Dr. Seuss books have been a standard in many homes for decades and in this book, Would you rather be a Bullfrog? he is writing as Theo. LeSieg and the book is illustrated by Roy McKie. This book asks terribly important questions such as would you rather be a cat or a dog? A bullfrog or a butterfly. Dr. Seuss is incredibly well liked and as with all of Seuss's books this one has wonderful rhyming and also each page asks a question making this a very interactive book and though the questions are silly, whether you're an adult or a child, it does make you think. Would you rather be a bird that sings or a bee that stings, a hammer or a nail. The questions are goofy, but your answers do say something about you. This is an intriguing book that I could see using for story time to get kids engaged.
Tedd Arnold has adorable illustrations and storyline. I very much enjoy the fly guy series. Buzz Boy And Fly Guy is a book about Buzz making a story about Buzz and Fly Guy becoming superheroes. In Buzz's story Fly Guy and Buzz are the same size and they can both fly. Their house is taken away, by pirates, to a cave where a sleeping dragon awaits. How will Buzz Boy and Fly Guy get out of this mess? I won't spoil the story for you. What kiddo doesn't dream of being a superhero? This book is great for any beginning reader.
