Favorite Back-to-School Picture Book Linky Party

Happy Tuesday! At just shy of 11:00pm, it's still Tuesday here in Cali for a teeny bit.  My sleep schedule is funkdafied! But it's not too bad -- it gives me lots of excuses to search for cute teacher stuff.  And excuses to fill my Amazon cart! (Oh Prime, how I love thee.)

So tonight, while on the hunt for some creative back to school ideas, I stumbled across a linky party over at First Grade Found Me!


Chrissy is hosting a linky to share our favorite back to school picture books. And what a great idea that is - with perfect timing, too! I just love this idea, so I'm joining in on the fun. Hopefully you will to, so I can snag some more read alouds for August.




One of my favorite back to school reads is 'The Dot' by Peter H. Reynolds.  It's a sweet story about a little girl who gets inspired to express herself.


It's a lovely book that really touches a teacher's heart, too.  It reminds us that believing in a student can help them believe in themself.

What are you favorite back to school reads? Head on over to First Grade Found Me and link up to share!

    Love the book the dot. I also love Peter Reynold's website. Lots of cool posters to download for free. Not sure if you have ever checked it out. I also love that he is the illustrator of the Judy Moody and Stink books.

    Prime is the best and word thing to happen to me! I love it because I can get any book I need in only two days. I hat it because I spend WAYYYY to much money!

    Kate,
    I also have an Amazon Prime fetish! It is the best. In fact, I think I "need" to treat myself to the book your mentioned. :)

    I am a newbie blogger. I'd love for you to come by and visit!
