Do you love monster books as much as I do? Amanda

Do you love monster books as much as I do? Amanda Noll has written some of our favorites! One I want to share today is How I Met My Monster. This book is written as a prequel to I Need My Monster and Hey, That’s My Monster!⁣
⁣
In this story, Ethan finds a note under his bed about a monster meeting. At first, he thinks it’s just his parents trying to trick him into staying in bed. But, Ethan changes his mind when he sees five colorful sets of eyes blinking back at him. Soon, a parade of little monsters compete to see which will become the perfect monster for Ethan.⁣
⁣
This book is perfect for inspiring your students to create their own monsters. I have put together a set of templates to simplify this process. Swipe to see a few examples of what your students might create. Plus, I have a handful of comprehension and vocabulary activities to pair with this story (printable and digital). Follow the link in my bio or send me a DM for more info.⁣
⁣
Don’t have a copy of the book? No problem! Check out StorylineOnline.net (a free website). You can hear this story (plus a lot more) being read to your students alongside creatively produced illustrations. ⁣

What’s your favorite monster book to read?⁣

My kids didn’t have school today (conferences),

My kids didn’t have school today (conferences), so we decided to visit the library and have a special lunch instead. Here’s what ended up in the bags to bring home. Do you spy any favorites in the stack?

Are your kids excited about Halloween? Mine are! T

Are your kids excited about Halloween? Mine are! They have picked out their costumes and are ready to read allllllll the Halloween books, especially this one. We are thrilled that Crankenstein is back in a new story just in time for the holiday.⁣
⁣
Halloween is Crankenstein’s favorite day, but this year it’s not going the way he hoped. He has a toothache, his costume is not unique, and his pumpkin carving was a disaster. MEHHRRRR!!! Will anything be able to turn this day around, or will it be the crankiest Halloween in history?⁣

Have you read Bonaparte Falls Apart? It’s a grea

Have you read Bonaparte Falls Apart? It’s a great story about friendship, problem solving, and overcoming fear. In the story, Bonaparte’s bones keep falling off when he plays catch, visits the doctor, and even when he rides his bike. Luckily, his friends (Franky Stein, Blacky Widow, and Mummicula) have some ideas to help put him back together. But can they do it before school starts?⁣
⁣
Here’s a quick and easy writing craft you can pair with the story. I also have put together discussion questions, a sequencing activity, graphic organizers, and vocabulary practice. There are printable and digital options included. You can check out the link in my bio or send me a DM for details. ⁣

Is there such a thing as too many books? Lila Lou’s mom seems to think so. But Lila Lou wonders if maybe their house is just too small.😉 Lila Lou comes up with a way she can share her books with others. She uses her tools to turn a large tree stump into a little library. ⁣
⁣
“My books are magical, wait and see.⁣
Pick one, pick two, or even three.⁣
They will take you to places - adventures galore!⁣
When you spend time with books, you will want to read more!”⁣
⁣
I love that this story features a child with a love of books and reading. It also has a great message about building community. This book is sure to capture the hearts of your bookworms and might just inspire them to create a little free library in your area!⁣
⁣
Do you visit any little free libraries in your area?⁣

This shelf has spent the past few months displaying our library haul, but I decided it was time for a change. So, I moved the library books to a new location and thought it would be fun to revisit our monster book collection. Can’t wait to see which books my kids gravitate towards first. ⁣

Do you love Creepy Carrots? We do!⁣
⁣
This story follows Jasper, a rabbit who loves carrots. And he can take the fattest, crispiest carrots from the Crackenhopper Field anytime he wants. That is, until the carrots start following him home. ⁣
⁣
This book is great for practicing the Somebody-Wanted-But-So-Then (SWBST) strategy. Your students can practice summarizing the story in a fun way with this carrot craft and pouch. This is a free download in my TpT store. Follow the link in my bio or check out my story highlight to see this craft in action.⁣
