A classic preschool and kindergarten book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom teaches alphabet recognition. I have found however that it can be a little lengthy for a preschool circle time. #ABCs #booksforkids #classicbooks #alphabet

Leo the Littlest Lion by Christine Harder Tangvald - A creative retelling of the classic Bible story of Daniel in the lion's den from the perspective of a lion.

Counting Dinos by Eric Pinder
How Do Dinosaurs Stay Safe? by Jane Yolen - Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL Are dinosaurs reckless in their everyday?  No, they listen carefully and play hard while staying safe.  I love the juxtaposition of these gigantic creatures doing things that small children also do.  I think this makes it easier to talk to a child about what risky behavior looks like versus safer behavior.
Great prosocial behaviour teaching tool. Kids love this book because it is about dinosaurs! HOW DO DINOSAURS PLAY WITH THEIR FRIENDS? By Jane Yolen illustrated by Mark Teague #prosocial #booksforkids #dinosaurbooks

The Very Busy Spider by Eric Carle - A simple repetitive story line. Children love this story when each animal is given a unique voice. It also teaches an appreciation of the fact that spiders catch flies. The spider demonstrates hard work and focus. This book can be used for bug theme or farm animal theme. #booksforkids #farmbooks #bugbooks #preschoolbooks #toddlerbooks #ericcarle #goodbooks
I grew up reading this book! Why should we be nice to spiders? Because they help keep the flies away which helps us enjoy life better.  #booksforkids #spiders #benice #oldbooks

1939 Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel Weekly Reader Book Club 1st Edition  !!!
This classic 1948 children's poem is an "he-went-that-away." It follows no insects, animals or children --- but as the title suggests, a red carpet.  The plot is very predictable. But children love this bright red carpet, trailing its way through amusing verse and quaint illustrations.
