Choosing Good Books
Big Idea
Choosing Good Books: Picture books, chapter books, poems and true books about real things.
Story time
One morning at the reading quilt under the shade tree, Clara and Sam talked about “choosing good books.” Readers grow strong minds, big imaginations and a lifelong love of learning. Clara said, “Let's try it today!” Sam smiled and said, “Let's do it together.” By the end of the day, they both felt proud of the healthy choice they made.
