books 101-107

These are books on CD that we listened to together

101- Big Bad Wolves at School by: Stephen Krensky illustrated by: Brad Sneed
Writing: A- Illustrations: A-

All wolves go to school to learn to be Big Bad Wolves. Rufus isn't any good at it. In the end his natural tendency to howl saves everyone who has been giving him a hard time. It is fun to see this side of the wolves.

102-Philadelphia Chickens by: Sandra Boynton
Writing: A Illustrations: A Music: A

If you have ever wondered what Snuggle Puppy sounds like as a song, this is for you. This book has 18 1/2 songs some of which may be books that you have read by Sandra Boynton. I wish I had this one for my very own.

103- The Napping House by: Aurey Wood illustrated by: Don Wood
Writing: A Illustrations: A

A classic. This book just keeps adding people or animals who are sleeping on the cozy bed. Kind of like the old lady who swallowed the fly. Easy for kids to catch onto.

104-If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by: Laura Numeroff illustrated by: Felicia Bond
Writing: A Illustrations: A

I'm sure you have read this before. If not, go and get it. It is a great book about what comes next. It is my favorite out of the many If You Give a.... books. I think that first is the best in this case.

105-If You Give a Pig a Pancake by: Laura Numeroff illustrated by: Felicia Bond
Writing: A Illustrations: A

Cute story with a pig wanting a pancake instead of a mouse a cookie.

106- If You Give a Moose a Muffin by: Laura Numeroff illustrated by: Felicia Bond
Writing: A Illustrations: A

Cute story with a moose instead of a pig or mouse. She really is creative with what happens in each story.

107- If You Take a Mouse to School by: Laura Numeroff illustrated by: Felicia Bond
Writing: A- Illustrations: A

Okay, this one is my least favorite. If you have a good thing, stick with it. The whole going to school didn't work as well as getting some sort of food. I think, however, that these books work better than all the shoot offs of Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?

P.S. The If You Give A books came in a treasury. It had music for each of the stories and cute activities to go with it. We love the songs at our house!
