Hello friends! Today I am linking up with Amanda over at Teaching Maddeness to talk about a book that I think is a “Must Read”… aren’t they all “must read”?! :) I just can’t get enough books! I hope my kiddos feel the same way. I love introducing them to books that make them love reading. I stumbled upon this quote the other day and I just absolutely love it and agree with it!

One book (or books) that I LOVE reading to my kids are all of the Kevin Henkes mouse books.

I like using these books for a variety of topics. You can use them for character analysis, making connections, descriptive writing, voice, author’s message, comparing and contrasting, etc. I usually read Chrysanthemum at the beginning of the year, but save the rest of them for the spring. I will probably read these after Spring Break. I can’t wait! I think my favorite mouse book is Wemberly Worried (although it’s hard to actually pick just one!)

Thanks to Amanda for such a cute linky and for letting me link up a few days late. :)
