What's That Shadow?
- This is a children's book about shadows. I like this book  because it is engaging for children. I could easily see myself using this book in my classroom, whether it's during a lesson or placed in my class library for children to read when they please. This book is not only about shadows, but it included a different riddle on each page about shadows.
When It Starts To Snow
- I can really see myself using this children's book in my classroom. This book is a winter story, told from each animals perspective, talking about where they go and what they do in the winter when the snow begins to fall. I found this to be a very interesting children's book. I would use this book in my classroom when talking about different habitats, possibly about bears hibernating, etc.
The Three Snow Bears
- This book is similar to Goldilocks and the Three Bears. I could see myself using this in my classroom  when talking about text-to-text connections, igloos, different habitats, etc. I think that children would really like this book and find it kind of new and exciting, compared to the original Goldilocks tale.
My Penguin Osbert
- I thought that this book would be an interesting book to use when discussing penguins. Instead of using a boring informational book, that some students might not find engaging, we could use this book and then go off of it to do a lesson about penguins. I could also keep this book in my classroom library for the children to refer back to, or read whenever they felt like it.
All the Water in the World
- This book talks about the different water cycles in the world. I could absolutely see myself using this book in more than one way in my classroom. I think that this book would be perfect to keep close to a science station in the classroom, with other science-themed books. Children could also use this book when doing research on the different water cycles.
We're Going On a Leaf Hunt
- This would be a perfect way to engage students into a lesson on leaves, fall, anything of that sort of theme. This teacher in particular read this book and then took her students on their own personal leaf hunt. There are so many different things you can do with this book. You can also simply keep it in your classroom library for children to explore on their own. I found this book to be very utilizing and interesting.
The Drop Goes Plop
- I thought this book was very interesting. It is about a mama and baby seagull that follow a rain drop all throughout it's cycle. This book also teaches about the water cycle, but in a different form than All the Water in the World. I think this book would be very engaging and a good way to open a lesson about the water cycle. I could definitely see myself using this book in my future classroom.
