"Ish" as Mrs. Figueroa's Fave
"Ish" by Peter R. Reynolds
This book is about a boy names Ramon who loves to draw. He draws all the time and one day his brother comes in and sees his drawings. His brother says something to him and then Ramon becomes sad. His sister comes up with a plan to make him happy again.
I recommend this book because it makes me feel happy inside because it's always ok to be just who we are and none of us have to be perfect.

"The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs" as Mrs. Mitchell's Fave
"The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs" by Jon Scieska
Who's says there's only one side to a story? Of course not, there is ALWAYS two sides, a different perspective. This hysterical book is all about the poor, poor wolf and his explanation how things happened through his lenses!

"The Great Kapok Tree: A Tale of The Amazon Rain Forest" as Mrs. Machado's Fave
This book is about the Amazon rain forest and all of the creatures who depend on it as a life source. Each animal will walk up to the young man and try to convince him not chop down the large tree. It's a beautiful book with colorful, realistic illustrations and a great message about the importance to save the rain forest from destruction. I recommend this book to anyone who loves nature and wants to learn more about the beauty of the Brazilian rain forest.

"The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig" as Mrs. Freeman's Fave
I love the twist in the story that used to be The Three Little Pigs. Try as he may, the Big Bad Pig cannot find enough "badness" to overcome the three little wolves. My favorite part is the very surprising ending!

"How the Grinch Stole Christmas" as Mrs. Malinauskas's Fave
My favorite children’s book is Dr. Seuss’s, “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” The Christmas season is one of my favorite times of the year, but this book demonstrates how each of us is capable of love. And no matter what our differences, we can all be accepting of each other. I recommend this book because it is entertaining and heartwarming!

"The Great Brain" as Mr. Barrow's Fave
I read this series of books when I was an elementary school student. I remember laughing at all the shenanigans of the middle brother ("The Great Brain"), connecting with the way the younger brother looked up to his older brothers, and feeling like the author totally understood what it was like to have lots of siblings. I recommend this book to anyone who has brothers and sisters. (I also recommend this book to anyone who is looking for ways to make a few dollars off of your friends, but maybe we shouldn't tell your teachers that.... ;)
Find this book in the fiction section at F FIT. Check the catalog to see if it's available.
