First Grade Fun

Created by Erin - Updated on October 28^th 2019

This fall my youngest son has been making new friends at school and finding new favorite book characters as he continues to develop as a reader in first grade. Here are a few we love!

Goodnight lagoon : a parody from Bikini Bottom

Carney, Charles, author.

From the Publisher

SpongeBob gets ready for bed in Bikini Bottom.

My Thoughts

While Spongebob isn't my favorite, my son sure loves him.

There is a bird on your head!

Willems, Mo.

From the Publisher

Gerald the elephant discovers that there is something worse than a bird on your head-- two birds on your head! Piggie will try to help her best friend.

My Thoughts

We have really loved getting to know Elephant and Piggie! They are a hoot!

The Halloween tree

Montanari, Susan McElroy, author.

From the Publisher

At a Christmas tree farm, a young pine tree who does not like people, decorations, or lights grows into a twisted, spooky, old tree, just right for Halloween.

My Thoughts

When reading this book, you must do a "tough guy" voice for the tree; it's required.

Attack of the 50-foot Fly Guy

Arnold, Tedd, author, illustrator.

From the Publisher

When Fly Guy snacks from a radioactive trash can, he grows until he is fifty feet tall--and Buzz has to find out a way to counteract the effect before the army attacks his pet.

The pigeon needs a bath!

Willems, Mo.

From the Publisher

The Pigeon is dirty and he needs a bath, but he won't go willingly.

My Thoughts

We especially like to read this book during bathtime.

Duck, duck, dinosaur

George, K. (Kallie), 1983- author.

From the Publisher

Three eggs hatch, resulting in an unusual but happy family.

My Thoughts

Siblings helping each other is always a good thing, and these guys do it so well!
