Favorite Books of 2014: December 29-30, 2014

Books:
The Crocodile Who Didn't Like Water by Gemma Merino *
Duck, Duck, MOOSE! by Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen *
Hickory Dickory Dog by Alison Murray *
My Teacher Is a Monster! No, I Am Not. by Peter Brown
Ninja! by Aree Chung
Peek-A-Boo Bunny by Holly Surplice *
Tyrannosaurus Wrecks by Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen

Craft: Dragon
I don't have a picture or template to share of this project as it was hand-drawn.  The kids colored a dragon's body and wings before gluing the wings to the body and then gluing on tissue paper flames.

Literacy Extensions:
- Explore the original "Hickory Dickory Dock" and other nursery rhymes.
- Ask your child for his favorite books from this year.  Have them articulate why they liked certain books and disliked others.

Notes:
I was amazed at how much the kids really liked Duck, Duck, MOOSE!.  I was afraid that it didn't have enough story to go with it.  Turns out that they liked it almost as much as the similarly written book Moo! by David LaRochelle.
