As I sit here and contemplate my summer, I have to admit that I had a great vacation. I got to spend great time with my family, I created some great resources (if I say so myself) and most importantly I started my blog. It is quite gratifying to see that I still like my profession. I reread my posts and it makes me happy that after 10 years and all the changes education has and is going through, my enthusiasm for teaching and children's literature is apparent. I look through my library and I see a book I haven't seen in a while and I get excited like its a present I forgot to open. Sounds silly I know but I do believe that at the core of any quality education is great quality literature. So here is a book I did stumble upon today:
There are not many words in the pages of this book. Wow! Tunnel! Wow people! Wow! Well you get the idea. It is the illustrations. I love them because they are huge! Its what you imagine you would feel looking at say NYC when you were say 3.
Mr. Neubecker has written a few Wow books - Wow! America! Wow! Ocean! and Wow! School! The illustrations are phenomenal and just as wonderful as the ones above. A must for your library.
Ok here's to enjoying these last free days of summer. I got my coffee and I am going to sit on my front steps with my triplets. Happy Labor Day!
Until next time!
