Season’s Readings
I looked through my blog archive yesterday and was reminded
that a few years ago I gave suggestions for great books to give for holiday
gifts. It seems a good time to do that again!
Books are great gifts and/or stocking
stuffers and these Stonehedge favorites are sure to make your student smile.
Mo Willems is still one of our most popular authors. All of our
kids love the “Pigeon” books as well as the “Elephant and Piggie” series. “Pete
the Cat” books are also still very popular.
This year author/illustrator Troy Cummings came to Stonehedge for PARP month and now I cannot keep his “Notebook of Doom” books on my shelves…I have lots of copies but everybody wants them! Another great choice for early readers is the “Owl Diaries” series from Rebecca Elliott.
“Diary
of a Wimpy Kid” by Jeff Kinney and “Captain Underpants” and “Dog Man” by Dav
Pilkey are fan favorites every year. The newest Dog Man, Fetch 22 just came out this
week!
Speaking of graphic novels…anything
by Raina Telgemeier is a win.“The Babysitters Club” series by Ann M. Martin has been reimagined in
graphic novel form and are all the rage with our older students as are the “Real
Friend” series books by Shannon Hale.
But that’s not all!!! Other
fabulous series include “I Survived” by Lauren Tarshis, “Percy Jackson and the
Olympians” and “The Heroes of Olympus” by Rick Riordan, “A Series of
Unfortunate Events” by Lemony Snicket and “The Last Kids on Earth” by Max
Brallier.
No matter what your family celebrates this season, make good books and time to read them part of your seasonal tradition.
Happy Holidays,
Don't forget to Read4Fun!
