Favorite Children's Picture Book



 My favorite children's picture book is The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything, by Linda Williams.  I like this book so much because my favorite holiday is Halloween and I really make a big deal out of it at school with my students.  We basically read Halloween books all month and we learn songs and do reader's theater with fun little chants like Five Little Pumpkins.  We have a terrifyingly good time during our Halloween centers and the kids learn a lot about bats, pumpkins, apples and other fall-related things.  This book always ends up being one of their favorites as well because they really get into all of the movements that they are required to make throughout the book and we have a few fun activities that go along with this story.  Even after Halloween is over, students still put this book in the read it again bin because they enjoy it so much.
