There are several books that come to mind for this book meme. My husband bought a book, The Secret, by Rhonda Byrne, which I have been trying to read for almost a year now, and to this date I still have not read it. In this book, the author  allows us to use our imagination as we explore and discover the world around us. This book helps readers learn how to use the authors words “in various aspects of our lives–  money, health, relationship, happiness, and in every interaction you have in the world” in order to over come obstacles.

Another book which I enjoyed reading back in Middle school was Hank The Cowdog, by John R. Erickson. This book is all about the wonderful stories of Hank, the ranch dog who  is supposed be  guarding the ranch, and yet, he is always getting in trouble for one thing or another. This is a great book for those children who like to read about adventures. Check the books out at the following URL
The Skippyjon Jones, by Judy Schachner, are fabulous books for the elementary age children. These books can also help children learn words in Spanish. These could be great books to incorporate into a Spanish lesson plan, and the children could write their own story in their journal and create puppets to tell the story.
