Little Critter: Going to the Firehouse is a great book for working with a community helpers theme. Children can experience their own firehouse field trip within these pages. Learning about what a fireman wears and why he does what he does is important and fun with Little Critter.
Little Critter: Going to the Sea Park is fun and full of learning opportunity. This would be a great addition to studying an ocean theme or planning a trip to an aquarium. The interaction between the students is great as Little Critter explains everything that is going on. Perfect amount sentences and an interesting topic to truly involve your early reader.
[b:Little Critter: Snowball Soup|1935691|Little Critter Snowball Soup (My First I Can Read)|Mercer Mayer|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1190569443s/1935691.jpg|1938206] This has to be my favorite of the Little Critter books that I've read so far. Even though right now the grass is green and the sky is blue, the cold days of winter are vivid in my mind. This one will be great next year while working with a snowman and winter theme. Fun and active Little Critter and Little Sister along with their dog and the snowman have an energetic time full of play. Reading aloud this was perfect for our storytime today and it has just the right amount of text and interest that AppleBlossom is already re-telling it to herself after one read.
*Thanks to HarperCollins for providing a copy for review.*
