MORE Children's book Favorites!

Memories...Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is a children's alphabet book. I remember really liking this book because of the bright colors and the famous line "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!" It also has cute rhymes in it.



Honestly, one of the reasons I loved this book and remember it till this day was because of the famous name "Tikki Tikki Tembo-no sa rembo-chari bari ruchi- pip -peri pembo," which means the 'most wonderful thing in the whole wide world.' I loved the way it would sound to say the name. Try it! Basically this story is a retold "old Chinese folktale on how the people of China came to give their children short names after traditionally giving their "first and honored" sons grand, long names." It's a cute story that I'm sure you'd love.





I love this one! How many of us remember waking up and having the worst day ever? That's why I love this book because many children can relate to it as anyone else. Alexander wakes up one morning with "gum in his hair, tripping over a skateboard and dropping his sweater in the sink while the water was running and he knew it was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day." The rest of his day couldn't get any worse that he just wants to move to Australia. It's a great book!


You know that warm fuzzy feeling you get sometimes? This is one of those books that gets you feeling all fuzzy inside. It's a very soothing book to read especially when you are reading to a young one who is about to go to bed. It goes through the story telling goodnight to everything in the room. A good....book....to make....you....want to ......fall...................asleep.................




This book is one of my favorite's because of the illustrations. I don't even know how Stephen Gammell does his illustrations. It looks like a bunch of paint splatter everywhere, and I find it to be amazing. All his illustrations seem to have an eerie feeling about them, but I love it! Check out some of his other stuff like the following book.


Tell me who hasn't seen these Scary Story books?! It is filled with many spooky stories that usually 2nd-4th student would love to hear. They are chilling stories and especially with Stephen Gammell's illustrations. He has a collection of these Scary Stories so they keep on coming.
