How Things Work: In the House by Lisa Campbell Ernst

A simple, graphic guide to how different household objects “work,” ranging from the basic mechanics of staplers to the different jobs different cat body parts do. Lots of fun facts.

Goldilocks returns by Lisa Campbell Ernst

A fractured sequel to a classic tale. Everyone has aged, even baby bear (who manages to look like a childish grown bear, could be interesting conversation with older students). Goldilocks feels guilt for wrecking the bears' home many years ago, so much so that she feels compelled to go back and make it pretty.

The Turn-Around, Upside-Down Alphabet Book (ALA… by Lisa Campbell Ernst

Doing every single letter of the alphabet would be too much--but highlighting a few letters or two (and showing all of the things they can be) is amazing!!

What a great way to practice early literacy skills with pre-readers!!
