Back-to-School Books

My three-year-old son brought home an empty bag from preschool yesterday with the assignment of filling it with some favorite books to share with his classmates. So before bedtime last night we sat down in front of the bookshelf and started our selection process. And let me tell you, it was a process! Before I knew it we had a teetering stack of books that clearly would NOT all fit in that small tote bag! As we started narrowing down his selections, I was reminded just how much kids love books! He really had a tough time deciding just which books to share.
Then I thought of The Mailbox. Our editors share a love for books and have similar decisions to make with your magazines. They each have to handpick which books to share with teachers like YOU. So I scanned through the latest issues to see which books they selected to kick off the school year. Here are just a few of the books featured in the August/September magazines.
- The Apple Pie Tree by Zoe Hall (The Mailbox Preschool)
- Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! by Mo Willems (The Mailbox Preschool)
- Froggy Goes to School by Jonathan London (The Mailbox Grades K-1)
- Mouse Count by Ellen Stoll Walsh (The Mailbox Grades K-1)
- Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse by Kevin Henkes (Teacher’s Helper Kindergarten)
- Wemberly Worried by Kevin Henkes (Teacher’s Helper Grade 1)
- Dinosaurs Before Dark (Magic Tree House) by Mary Pope Osborne (Bookbag)
- The Recess Queen by Alexis O’Neill (Bookbag)
- Being a Good Citizen by Mary Small (Bookbag)
- Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type by Doreen Cronin (Bookbag)
Are any of these on your list of favorites? Which books do you reach for at the beginning of the school year?

I teach first grade and I love Junie B. Jones! We begin the year with Junie B, First Grader at Last. My children really seem to like it and it is a great segue into journal writing!
