Great Books for February!

Here are two of my favorite books for Valentines' Day. 
  Somebody Loves You, Mr. Hatch by Eileen Spinelli
This is a great read-aloud for any age.
Summary: An anonymous valentine changes the life of the unsociable Mr. Hatch, turning him into a laughing friend who helps and appreciates all his neighbors.
 
  

This is a book all pre-readers as well as beginner readers can read and enjoy on their own
Every bird loves a tree,
Every flower loves a bee,
Every lock loves a key,
And I love you! 

This book provides a perfect model for the creation of an "instant" class book your students will enjoy reading over and over again. For directions and free downloadables go to this link:

  1. I have not read the book yet, but a second grade teacher at my school was telling me about Somebody Loves You, Mr. Hatch today, and I'm planning on reading it to my first graders tomorrow!
