Summary: This is a charming bedtime story that takes young readers on a journey through the unique and beautiful landmarks of Arizona. The book celebrates the state’s natural wonders, cultural highlights, and famous attractions, such as the Grand Canyon, Saguaro National Park, Monument Valley, and historic Route 66. With its soothing rhymes and colorful illustrations, the story offers a perfect way to introduce children to Arizona’s diverse landscapes and traditions while saying show more goodnight to the state’s special places.
Comments: I thought that this book was very sweet, and was very similar to the book "Goodnight Moon", just more about Arizona and its unique characteristics. This book encapsulates all the special attributes of out state, and I think children from here or from somewhere else, would enjoy this sweet bedtime book. This book is informative of the nature and wildlife all around Arizona, and I think it would be a beneficial contribution to the classroom! show less

A fun read-aloud for babies and toddlers. It features a lot of different species/types of sharks -- many I hadn't heard of before which made it an enjoyable read for me as an adult.

This charming and educational board book explores and celebrates the diversity of the modern family, while promoting acceptance. Features families that include mixed races, single parents, divorced parents, gay and lesbian parents, step-siblings and half-siblings, foster care, grandparents, and so much more.

This is a great international book about Canada. I think it is important to inform kids about other parts of the world and not just their own small little world. This specific book has great pictures and talks about several good night rituals that some kids do in Canada. To implement this into my classroom I would have my students draw me a picture of what they think Canada looks like. This would help them to be a little more diverse about our world.
