Pea soup, anyone?

How about a big fat worm?

Over a decade of doing early childhood ed., I probably spent the equivalent of three or four entire days leading quartets of preschoolers in acting out THE BIG FAT WORM by Nancy Van Laan and illustrated by Marisabina Russo. It was a great exercise for getting them to use their words and speak up. I keep hoping that if I mention the book every couple of years that it will eventually come back into print.

John Burningham's THE RABBIT was another all-time act-it-out favorite. And there wasn't a single kid who came through my preschool who couldn't tell you (enthusiastically and loudly) what the Lion in the Night hollered when he arrived back at the castle first.

Here are a some of the people who still get me smiling on a cloudy day:

Pamela Allen: A LION IN THE NIGHT (o.p.) FANCY THAT! (o.p.) BELINDA (o.p.)


Quentin Blake: COCKATOOS (o.p.) ALL JOIN IN (o.p.) CLOWN

John Burningham: THE RABBIT (o.p.) MR. GUMPY'S OUTING GRANPA


Barbara Helen Berger:


A LOT OF OTTERS GRANDFATHER TWILIGHT WHEN THE SUN ROSE

Barbara Cooney: ROXABOXEN (by Alice McLerrran) MISS RUMPHIUS ISLAND BOY

Molly Bang: COMMON GROUND THE PAPER CRANE TEN NINE EIGHT

Uri Shulevitz: DAWN (o.p.) SNOW RAIN RAIN RIVERS


Tomie de Paola: STREGA NONA THE KNIGHT AND THE DRAGON TATTIE'S RIVER JOURNEY (by Shirley Rousseau Murphy) (o.p.)


Eric Carle: THE VERY BUSY SPIDER THE GROUCHY LADYBUG THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR



David McPhail: MOLE MUSIC THE PUDDLE (o.p.) EDWARD AND THE PIRATES

James Marshall: GEORGE AND MARTHA: THE COMPLETE STORIES OF TWO BEST FRIENDS
