Thread: First Weeks of Second Grade

Here are some good read-aloud picture books; I don't assign grade levels to them!

Anything by Don/Audrey Wood.

Finding the Green Stone by Alice Walker

That's Good! That's Bad! by Margery Cuyler

Blueberries for Sal by Robert McCloskey

Owl Moon by Jane Yolen

Seven Blind Mice by Ed Young

No Moon, No Milk! by Chris Babcock

Airmail to the Moon by Tom Birdseye

Abiyoyo by Pete Seeger

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst

The Jazz Fly by Matthew Gollub


These happen to be sitting in a pile next to the couch, a few favorites that I pulled out for my grandson.

Some other favorite authors of picture books include:

Dr. Seuss, of course!

Bill Peet; Byrd Baylor; Cynthia Rylant; Dav Pilkey; Steven Kellogg; Kevin Henkes; Jon Scieszka; Tomie DePaola; Bill Martin Jr.; Eric Carle; Eve Bunting; Patricia Polacco

I could go on, but this ought to get you looking. :wink:

oops; hit the button twice!
