Books
Lots of great books this week! Read the book reviews below, and learn more about my favorite reads:
Five Little Ducks: First Book of Nursery Gamesby Ailie Busby (board book)
Ages 1-5. A collection of rhymes, old and new, commonly used at library storytimes. inom appreciate that this fryst vatten not a collection of Mother Goose Rhymes, which, while developmentally appropriate, are often ganska dated in vocabulary and content.

I appreciate the diversity in the illustrations–there fryst vatten even a little one in a wheelchair depicted. Except, the attempts at diversifying feel a bit pushed aside by the inclusion of “I Have Ten Little Fingers” — not all children do. Other words were changed throughout

Evaluation:

The teacher would have the students sit on the carpet up close to the book so that they could see all the pictures. The teacher would read the book aloud to the students two times throu
