Tomorrow is our summer reading kickoff day! If you're looking for good story time books that tie in with the build a better world theme, look no further! I read these books in a story time today and I'm looking forward to reading them again tomorrow!
Billions of Bricks by Kurt Cyrus is a fun and interactive book that shows the entire building process from beginning to end. The children had a lot of fun guessing what the builders were building and they were delighted and amazed to realize that the builders built an entire city!
Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site by Sherri Duskey Rinker and Tom Lichtenheld illustrates what a crane truck, cement mixer, dump truck, bulldozer, and excavator do during a construction job. Then, each weary vehicle gets ready to go to bed and go to sleep after a long day's work. This book features a delightful rhyme and lovely illustrations that were rendered in Neocolor wax oil pastels.
Rex Wrecks It! by Ben Clanton is one of my favorite story time books! As Rex's friends, Gizmo, Sprinkles, and Wild build absolutely amazing things: an out-of-this-world rocket, a magical heart, and a wooden wonder of wowdom, Rex wrecks it! Can Rex learn to play with his friends and build something absolutely amazing with them?
Bang! Boom! Roar! A Busy Crew of Dinosaurs by Nate Evans and Stephanie Gwyn Brown is a wonderful alphabet book! The children loved the story of the dinosaurs as builders and enjoyed guessing what they were building. What did they build? A play ground! We spent some time at the end of the story identifying everything that was on the play ground.
Arches to Zigzags: An Architecture ABC is a nonfiction alphabetical book that introduces the children to various aspects of architecture, such as balconies, eaves, finials, hinges, joists, and keystones. It's an informational and entertaining book with beautiful photographs.
