A Kids Book A Day
Each day, I share a review of a book that has been released this year. I select books that I’ve loved, believe would benefit elementary classrooms, and, importantly, that I think kids will enjoy. I have a special theme for each day of the week: Story Time Sundays showcase fiction picture books; Middle Grade Mondays highlight middle grade novels; Third Grade Thursdays focus on early chapter books; and Factual Fridays are dedicated to nonfiction titles. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, I choose books freely.

Here Is a Book by Elisha Cooper (Henry N. Abrams, 40 pages, ages 4-8). An artist is inspired by the nature around her and creates a book. She pedals her bicycle into town to deliver her work to her publisher. From there it goes to a printer, where it is turned into books. The books travel to the city, where one of them ends up in a school library. A child borrows the book and brings it home, where she is inspired by the illustrations to make a book of her own.
