Because of that, the monthly bulletin board at our branch is a word map challenge. I've taken the text from 13 beloved picture books and created word maps. Can you figure out what these classic picture books are?
I had a young boy request this book EVERY storytime for at least 9 months. How could I not include it?
This is one of my favorite books! I've always longed to do it in a storytime without getting my tongue completely twisted.
Fun Fact: I really dislike this book. A LOT. I think Max should not have gotten his dinner (or he should have apologized first for his behavior). But it's a classic, so I included it.
I can't read this book without tearing up. The death of a grandparent can be tough and I think it's beautifully handled here.
I love this version of this story. Another fun fact: The author used to be a librarian with my library system.
This book is a modern classic and a great example of photography mixed with illustrations. Both sequels were just as good, which can be tough to pull off.
This is another title I really dislike. I'm surprised by that because I love the author's books of poetry.
Another great storytime book. I love the message and the songs. After storytime I frequently hear kids singing this on their way back to their preschools.
Growing up, this was one of my favorite series because of the detailed watercolor illustrations.
I love reading this to second graders through fourth graders. The humor is so dry and incredibly funny.
The collage work in this book is mind blowing. I love this author/illustrator for his urban, city-based images.
This book is iconic. I visited the author's museum a few years ago and it was a great experience!
I've had preschool teachers tell me that kids imitate me doing this story. Apparently I do a memorable troll. (Thank you?)
