Literally nothing makes me happier that children during Valentines. I love how crafty they get making their Valentines and giving them to their little friends. I love all the home made cards I get during this time of year. I love reading heart felt books to my kiddos and seeing them fall in love with reading.
For the next 14 days I will be sharing some of my favorite Valentine Day books. I will be sharing a summary, a class idea, and of course why i absolutely love the book. Buckle up it is going to be a mushy love filled ride.
I am going to start with a simple book. The book is Llama Llama I love you by Anna Dewdney. First I must say that I am so beyond glad that they are making these sweet little Llama books for each holiday. I am a big big fan of Llama Llama and I love seeing everything that he is up to. In this story Llama is doing all of the best activities of the season. He is making valentines, spreading love, and of course, cuddling with Mama. He even makes a sweet gift for his Mama.
I think that this book is best for preschool to kindergarten students. It is a simple book that rhymes and it would even be good for reading with the class and then reading several more times in choral reading to work on fluency. This would also be a great book to read one day when the kids are going to making Valentines for their parent or special family member. It is important to talk about how much love they give to us and that Valentines day is a day that we can show a little extra love to our most important people.
I love that they are putting these out for so many Holidays. Next month there will be a new Llama Llama book about Easter and I can not wait!
Have you read any of the new Llama books? What books would you like to see on here in the next few days?
Have a wonderful day,
Ms. Cara
