The Baby's Bedtime Book

By Kay Chorao

Summary: This book contains 28 bedtime poems and lullabies for children. Some are very well known lullabies such as "Hush, Little Baby" and "Rock-a-bye Baby" are in this book. Some lesser known poems such as "Good Night" and "Safe in Bed" are also included in this collection. This book is filled with beautiful, colored illustrations. There is one for each poem or lullaby.

Review: This collection has great illustrations that are sure to catch the attention of children. This book would be great for read aloud in class. This book would also be great for children to read by themselves, but they may need help understanding the concepts within the poems. I would suggest it for 2nd graders.

The War That Saved My Life

The War that Saved My Life By Kimberly Brubaker Bradley Summary: This story follows the lives of a young brother and sister duo, Ada and Jamie Smith, during World War II. These siblings have grown up in the same house with their mother, who they call Mam, but with two very different lives. Jamie, a 7 year-old, is the youngest, and for the most part, has a normal life that includes going to school and playing with his friends around the block.

The Day the Crayons Quit

The Day the Crayons Quit Written by Drew Daywalt & Illustrated by Oliver Jeffers Overview: One day in class, a little boy named Duncan took out his crayons and found a stack of letters with his name on them. Each letter was written by one of his crayons. The red crayon, the pink crayon, the green crayon, and so on. Each crayon had written Duncan about he felt in regards to their overuse or underuse in his drawings or other issues that they felt needed to be addressed. When Duncan was finished reading all of the letters he tired to think of a way to appease all of his crayons and decided to draw and incredibly creative picture with all of his crayons. Duncan got an A+ on his drawing! This book takes a comical look at creativity from a crayon's perspective. This entertaining book can be read by 2nd graders and would make such fun read aloud for children.

Where The Sidewalk Ends

Where the Sidewalk Ends By Shel Silverstein Summary: In the collection, there are more than 60 of Shel Silverstein's poems and illustrations. Some of my favorite poems in this treasury are "Sick," "Jumping Rope," and "Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take The Garbage Out." These poems were some of my very favorites growing up. With Shel's clever word choice and small illustrations for most of the poems, children will love reading all of the different selections. Review: This was probably my favorite collection of poems growing up. I love how the poems are different lengths and are made more attractive with interesting sketches for many of the poems. I would probably recommend this book for 4th through 7th graders. There is definitely something for everyone in this book and would make for a great in-class read aloud.
