I Like Myself!

 I Like Myself! by Karen Beaumont

This story allows students who feel different to be happy with who they are and allows them to stand out. The author is able to describe different situations that students face whether it be the way they look or act, but yet giving them the confidence to be unique. Although they do not specify the disability, the author does a wonderful job to reach elementary school kids to feel comfortable in their own skin!

Leaves: An Autumn Pop-Up Adventure

 Leaves: An Autumn Pop-Up Adventure by Janet Lawler

This way of reading allows the students to learn about the four seasons. They can also interact with the book and have a connection with it that still teaches them how to use their reading skills and their hands on learning. I would use this book in a kinder, first or second grade classroom because it is at the age in which they are learning about science and the seasons as well as can help their tactile skills.

New Kid

 New Kid by Jerry Craft

In the graphic novel, New Kid, Jordan loves art and has a dream to go to art school. His parents being the supportive ground for him influence him on starting a new institute that will allow him to expand his dream. The setting is different for him making him feel out of place and confused at first. After time he realizes that being himself is all he needs in order to be happy. This book is great for middle schoolers because it is at the same age that they begin to figure who they are as individuals and can learn to love themselves!

Iggy Peck, Architect

 Iggy Peck, Architect by Andrea Beaty

In this story, the author uses rhyme to teach students about architecture in a fun way. 

The students can begin to learn with words and also art. Iggy would always build things with his surroundings and his parents would observe.

Iggy Peck then became an amazing architect and was able to shine his talent!

Clara and Clem in Outer Space

 Clara and Clem in Outer Space by Ethan Long

This story was more for the pre-k, kindergarten levels that are barely starting to read and understand words. 

This allows them to start to wonder about science and the different things related to the subject. 

With the help of Clara and Clem, the students are able to enjoy learning about space. This story also gives the students an introduction to rhyming and can help them understand how words can connect and sound alike. 

If You Decide To Go To The Moon

If You Decide To Go To The Moon by Faith McNulty

If you decide to go to the move is a fun story for children to read. Along the lines of imagination, there is also truth to it. They are being able to learn about astronauts and different experiences that they take. This can allow the students to take interest in these kinds of subjects.

For me, science was always a much harder topic to enjoy, yet found it easy to read science-fiction because I was able to alter the content with a little imagination!

The Tale of Kitty-in-Boots

The Tale of Kitty-in-Boots by Beatrix Potter 

Beatrix Potter's effects bring the pictures to life while following along the audiobook. Being able to hear the authors point of view and truly understand the different ways that a character sounds or acts can be very helpful when trying to understand a scenario. 

This book is more for the older generations that feel comfortable following a plot that has multiple connections, for the characters found in the story can be tied back to other novels, or tales. 

Eager

 Eager by Helen Fox

A robot comes to life and learns from a past generation. In the book Eager, the children, Gavin and Fleur are losing their beloved robot. They recieve eager which is on a quest that can be funny and also very dark, in order to feel alive. 

This science fiction book is a great read for students who enjoy an adventure and technology!

Aliens for Breakfast

Aliens for Breakfast by Stephanie Spinner and Jonathan Etra

In aliens for breakfast, Jonathan and Stephanie use a great sense of imagination. The very well known idea of aliens comes to life in front of the readers eyes as they begin their journey through the book.

In the story, Richard is a kid who lives a crazy life, just because of a cereal box. This is not an ordinary cereal box, for there is an actual alien inside. A tiny alien names Aric, who must destroy Dorf. 

They proceed their day in challenge to do this. Dorf, a cool kid in Richard's class is part of the rival alien race called Dranes. Since he is so close, Aric and Richard go as far as to try and make Dorf disappear. They even give him peppers!
