Story times are arranged by theme. Click on a theme for picture book suggestions and teaching hints. Please note: it was not my intention to list all books available on the subject; instead, I am sharing books that have ACTUALLY WORKED FOR ME as great read-alouds, lifted from my actual lesson plan book! The crafts and activities and teaching hints have also been TRIED HERE ON PLANET EARTH! NOT JUST IN THEORY!!! Ahhhhh...doesn't that feel good?
Titles are picture books aimed at kindergarten through third grade. Look them over to determine how well they suit the ability of your child or group. I have included some titles even if they are recently out of print, because they are still readily available at public libraries.
So print up these lists with confidence! If you want to see the book covers, open the Amazon.com search window and browse. Don't forget to e-mail me with your success stories and suggestions, or requests for other themes.
