Because of the impending holiday, I've been giving books to my students left and right this week. (What do you mean, Thanksgiving isn't a gift-giving holiday? All holidays are for gift-giving. I fully intend to inflict books on my students for St. Patrick's Day.)
As I've found a place where I can buy them for fifty cents, I've started a small stock of picture books for my first graders. My favorite first grader picked Roxaboxen! Has anyone else read Roxaboxen? It's about a bunch of kids who build an imaginary town in the desert using white stones and desert glass - "amethyst, amber, and sea-green." I looooooved it when I was a little kid.
My student seemed to find it a little puzzling when I read it to her, but no doubt she'll grow to love it over time.
I also have Miss Rumphius, which we always called The Lupine Lady because it's about Miss Rumphius wandering the countryside spreading lupine seeds to make the world more beautiful. Best book EVER!
