Second, I use them in a lot of ways for my students. Right now I'm sharing a lot of creative nonfiction picture books with them for mentor texts for their own writing. I gather picture book text sets for mini-lessons on reading and writing standards, craft, and to help create concept maps around theme topics. I have quite a collection of pb - I consider it my art collection. :-)Holly Muellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00476411667354933648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2752544695499885154.post-52241968602397604362014-05-13T00:47:02.083-04:002014-05-13T00:47:02.083-04:00Now, I am especially curious to read The Girl and ...Now, I am especially curious to read The Girl and the Bicycle. I loved The Boy and the Airplane. We have been reading very similar picture books recently!

Her I know why the caged bird sings is a personal favourite. I also own another one of her books "Letter to my Daughter" which might be a great companion reading material to this one you just shared here. I am in love with Shaun Tan's artwork, how obscure his messages can be, and the many layers that can be unpacked in his narratives. The man's got magic in his veins. I have to find The Girl and the Bicycle. Sounds like a truly lovely book, Holly. :)GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2752544695499885154.post-61013717439568581722014-05-12T21:36:23.159-04:002014-05-12T21:36:23.159-04:00I want to read every picture book you listed!

I think so far, I'm the only Nerdy member that did not like Tan's Rules of Summer. I'll have to watch the video and see if it helps clarify things for me... I just didn't get it... Summer brain already?? Thanks for putting the video links in!

One of my students performed "Still I Rise" for elocution. To prepare her, we watched a video. Such an inspiration! I need to make more time for picture books. How do you use them with your students? It was one of my goals this year that I didn't quite get to.
