Mrs. Amundson's September Book Picks
Children Just Like Me
KEY CONCEPTS: connection, perspective
AT A GLANCE: Children Just Like Me profiles 44 children and their daily lives. From rural farms to busy cities to riverboats, this celebration of children around the world shows the many ways children are different and the many ways they are the same.
Captain Awesome (Series)
KEY CONCEPTS: causation, responsibility
AT A GLANCE: Eight-year-old Eugene McGillicudy loves comic books and superheroes. Eugene also has his very own supersecret superhero alter ego named Captain Awesome. MI-TEE! This is a great early chapter book series for beginning readers (large type and heavily illustrated!). We have books 1-3 in our library!
Miss Maple's Seeds
KEY CONCEPTS: connection, causation
AT A GLANCE: Miss Maple gathers lost seeds that haven’t yet found a place to sprout. She takes them on field trips to explore places to grow. In her cozy maple tree house, she nurtures them; keeping them safe and warm until it's time for them to find roots of their own, and grow into the magnificent plants they’re destined to become. A GREAT read aloud for your class or an uplifting book for teachers on a hard day!
