Books for Preschoolers and Toddlers

Various books for preschoolers and toddlers I have used and enjoyed with my preschool class. Many of these can be used for various themes. Several are lift-the-flap books which are an excellent tool for beginning to use books at circle time when teaching two year olds or very busy three year olds.

Counting Dinos by Eric Pinder
How Do Dinosaurs Stay Safe? by Jane Yolen - Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL Are dinosaurs reckless in their everyday? No, they listen carefully and play hard while staying safe. I love the juxtaposition of these gigantic creatures doing things that small children also do. I think this makes it easier to talk to a child about what risky behavior looks like versus safer behavior.
Great prosocial behaviour teaching tool. Kids love this book because it is about dinosaurs! HOW DO DINOSAURS PLAY WITH THEIR FRIENDS? By Jane Yolen illustrated by Mark Teague #prosocial #booksforkids #dinosaurbooks

The Very Busy Spider by Eric Carle - A simple repetitive story line. Children love this story when each animal is given a unique voice. It also teaches an appreciation of the fact that spiders catch flies. The spider demonstrates hard work and focus. This book can be used for bug theme or farm animal theme. #booksforkids #farmbooks #bugbooks #preschoolbooks #toddlerbooks #ericcarle #goodbooks
I grew up reading this book! Why should we be nice to spiders? Because they help keep the flies away which helps us enjoy life better. #booksforkids #spiders #benice #oldbooks

1939 Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel Weekly Reader Book Club 1st Edition !!!
This classic 1948 children's poem is an "he-went-that-away." It follows no insects, animals or children --- but as the title suggests, a red carpet. The plot is very predictable. But children love this bright red carpet, trailing its way through amusing verse and quaint illustrations.
