Welcome!

You have accessed the blog site for Choosing and Using Books for Children. Throughout the term we'll use our blog to record the books we read and the ideas we have for using them when we're teachers. By the end of March, our class will have read at least 280 books. Happy reading!

Two important protocol actions for EVERY post:
1. Underline or italicize all book titles (choose one formatting style and stick with it--underline OR italicize for all book titles)
2. Add your name in the "label" box before you post each documentation.

One important recommendation:
Create your documentations in a separate Word document, then cut and paste in a blog post.

Mother Goose

Book Title: Mother Goose
Author(s): Will Moses
Illustrator/Photographer/ Artist: Will Moses
Publisher: Penguin Young Readers Group
Copyright Date: 2003
Genre: Folktale
Brief Annotation: This is an original recreation of the celebrated book Mother Goose. Young readers will meet the Old Woman Who Lives in a Shoe, Hickory Dickory, Little Boy Blue, Three Little Kittens and many more. The rhyme is beautifully familiar and the art makes these age old stories come to life.
Your Rating (1-5) and Why: I rate this book a four because I think that everyone can find something they like in this book.
Readers who will like this book: I think most children and adults love this book.
Teaching Strategy from Tompkins: The interactive read aloud strategy would work well here. First introduce the book as a collection of rhymes. Read the selected rhyme aloud modeling fluent and exuberant reading. Then tell the children where they can add sound effects or have them clap the rhyme. The children may also enjoy echoing the teacher line by line.
Question to ask about this book before you read aloud: Who is Mother Goose?
