I have an arsenal of picture books that I bring out blazing at the beginning of the year. On closer look, they tend to be more reading and library oriented, as I plan on using them with my first class visits to the library.

For what it is worth here is that list:

Miss Brooks Loves Books! (and I don't) Bottner But, excuse me, that is my book - Child A Fine, Fine School - Creech (guaranteed to fill little hearts with dread) Miss Malarkey Leaves no Reader Behind - Finchler Back to School for Rotten Ralph - Gantos Yellowbelly and Plum go to School - Hale How Rocket Learned to Read - Hills Library Lion - Knudsen Froggy Goes to School - London Winston the Book Wolf - McGee Stephanie's Ponytail - Munsch Mind your Manners, B.B. Wolf - Sierra How do Dinosaurs Go to School? - Yolen

We welcome your children's and young adult literature-related announcements in the next few days. Then we'll dive into the first of our two September topics:

First Half of September: School Stories From first days to fitting in to classroom comedies, stories about kids in school are a staple of children’s literature. During the first half of September, w e invite you to talk about your favorite school stories, whether it†™s your go-to, start-of-the school-year read-aloud or titles you eagerly share with kids throughout the year. Second Half of September: Great Expectations. Respect. Responsibility. Integrity. Attitude. Some books offer great examples of positive†”or negative—behaviors. Whether they are funny or poignant, boo ks that honestly and authentically depict characters at their best or their worst offer great opportunities to talk about (or quietly model) behavior and expectations. During the second half of September, we invite you to share titles you’ve found helpful in affirming your own great

expectations for kids in the classroom, in the library, and beyond.
