OCTOBER’S READING IN ENGLISH
GRADE K
Creativity & Curiosity
You Are (Not) Small Written by Anna Kang & illustrated by Christopher Weyant
In this charming story about opposites, two creatures go back and forth arguing about who is small and who is big. When some new friends join the conversation, they offer new perspectives for everyone to consider. With minimal text on some pages, this book offers emerging readers an opportunity to move toward independent reading as they have fun thinking about comparing sizes.
CREATIVITY
Imagination & Exploration
Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes Written by Eric Litwin & illustrated by James Dean Pete is one cool cat! In this vibrant picture book inspired by a song, Pete celebrates his new white sneakers as he saunters down the sidewalk. When he accidentally steps in an enormous pile of strawberries, he readily accepts their new hue: red! Whether his sneakers turn blue or brown or white or wet, it’s all cool for Pete. Kindergartners and their families will love the simple, playful text, and its repetitive structure invites print awareness as well as a chance to read and sing along.
