Click, Clack, Moo Cows That Type

By Doreen Cronin and Betsey Lewin

ISBN: 9780689632130

Click, Clack, Moo Cows That Type is an adorable children's picture book that I remember loving in elementary school. In the book the cows are on strike because of the conditions they are living in. They would leave typed notes on the barn door that there would not be milk today, or that they were closed.. ALL because they wanted electric blankets! I thought that it was an adorable story the illustrations were very cute and the way that the words stood out on the page made it easy for a child to read. I also think that kids would enjoy this story, as it is a funny story. The cows are on strike because they want electric blankets.

If You Give a Mouse a Cookie 

By Laura Numeroff

ISBN: 0060245867

This is another adorable children's book that I used to enjoy and happen to still love. This story is about a little boy who meets a mouse and gives him a cookie. The mouse then proceeds to ask the boy for different things like, a glass of milk, a nap, and even to draw a picture. I think it's a silly concept so kids really enjoy a mouse asking for all of these different things when they know that mice cannot talk. The illustrations were great and I loved the way that the story flowed from page to page.

The Rainbow Fish

By Marcus Pfister

ISBN 9781558580091

Another one of my favorite children's book is Rainbow Fish. This a beautiful story about a fish with the most beautiful scales, but feels that no one loves him because he doesn't want to share his scales when people ask him. Finally, after speaking to The Wise Octopus he decides to share his scales in order to be happy. I think this is a wonderful story to read and the illustrations were phenomenal.

This book gets a 5 out of 5. It's a great story for teachers to read in a classroom, as well, to avoid bullying and encourage sharing.
