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. :)

I LOVE "Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse". My kids always love when she draws the mean picture of Mr. Slinger and calls him a "Big Fat Mean Mr. Stealing Teacher". Plus, I totally had a red pair of boots that I wore everywhere when I was 5 :).
