Hello Sandy Patterson: favorite reads

What teacher doesn't LOVE picture books!?!?!?
I know I do!!!! So I was so excited to see Lindsey host this link party over at

Here are some of my favorites!!!
As a little girl, I remember my mom reading this to me every night. :) Still love it.

At school, I love reading aloud anything by Mo Willems!!! Especially the Piggy & Elephant series!!! Last year, I had to record myself reading one for a school project, and my favorite thing about the recording are the cute little giggles and laughter coming from the kids the entire time. I love it.

I also LOVE Giraffe's Can't Dance by Giles Andreae. Such a cute story with a wonderful message that so many of my kiddos can relate to!

This is another silly book I love for three reasons. 1. The kids always love it, without fail. 2. It's really funny. 3. There's a corgi in it! ;-)

I know this isn't a picture book, but this one is just too good to leave out. When I taught fourth grade, my all time favorite chapter book was The Tale of Desperaux by Kate DiCamillo. It's such a magical book and so well written. It's truly one of those books that you can read every year and not get tired off!
