I love the Pigeon books, as well. I use them for persuasive text. My school added that as a new unit last year, and I had much success with that pigeon! The books are great to start a pro con conversation. Kids as young as grade 2 have a ball adding their comments and opinions! I am so glad we are doing the persuasive text unit early in the year, instead of June, so we can really get into it! In a message dated 8/22/2009 1:56:25 P.M.

Shannon I love the Mo Willems series of Pigeon books: Don't let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, Pigeon finds a Hot Dog. They are very amusing and good for inferring and predicting. I have used them K-5. Fifth graders love them as much as the K kids. Jennifer In a message dated 8/22/2009 1:46:18 P.M.

I love these lists, but I'd also be curious to know if people would like to share a couple of their "newer" or "just discovered" books and how they use them in their classroom. There are tons of books coming out daily, and I am finding two or three every month that are worth buying to keep in the classroom. Maybe we could make a new list?! Thoughts and ideas welcome.
