Fun and Funny Books: Scholastic recommends Mobi Shinobi: Ninja on the Farm by Luke Flowers and Frazzled: Everyday Disasters and Impending Doom by Booki Vivat, but you should also keep an eye out for B.J.Big Book Anniversaries: The Magic School Bus, Goosebumps, Captain Underpants, and Elephant & Piggie are turning 30, 25, 20, and 10 in 2017, a year that also marks Little House author Laura Ingalls Wilder's 150th birthday.No doubt spurred on by continued calls for anti-bullying measures and the unnecessary cruelty of our incoming executive administration, lessons on kindness are more important now than ever.Īnti-bullying books are just one of the five trends Scholastic predicts we'll see in picture and chapter books in the coming year.
When we point out patterns we notice, or help our children notice patterns, we are helping them develop one of the math skills-geometry and patterns-which will later make it easier for them to understand math concepts.After the turbulent year we've had, children's book publisher Scholastic says that lessons on kindness will be essential in kids' books in 2017. Ok, here comes the story.Įarly Learning Aside-Example: Adults, when I started this book, I pointed out that there is a pattern the children can follow to help them know what comes next, so they would know when to say Hooray for hat. Let's practice saying "Hooray for hat." Very good. First an animal is grumpy, then Elephant gives the grumpy animal a hat, and the animal smiles and they cheer "Hooray for hat!" So, I would like you to say with me "hooray for hat." You'll know when it is coming because it will be after the animal smiles and then they cheer. In fact, you might notice there is a pattern to what is happening.
This book has a lot of repetition so I would like you to help tell the story with me. In this book each of the animals is grumpy until they get a wonderful hat. Introduction: Our next book is called Hooray for Hat by Brian Won.
