I Want to Eat Your Books
By: Karin Lefranc and Tyler Parker

 
I read this book to my second grade class and asked the students what they really liked about the book and their hands shot up. Here are a few of their comments:
  • clever title
  • title page with the monster coming out of the cemetery
  • how the words sound like a song when read – the rhyming words
  • colorful and detailed illustrations
  • happy ending – how it ends in the moment
  • big words the zombie says…because they are fun to read as a class
  • that the zombie realizes that reading is really fun
This book is perfect for teaching rhyming words and thinking what would make sense. Simply cover up the second rhyming word and having students use context clues to figure out what would make sense. As a read aloud, I didn’t even get halfway through the book and the students were eager to join in reading aloud. This is one of those books where students are sitting in groups reading it together whenever they get a chance. 5 stars.

    Helping students find the “right” book is often the spark they need to begin the journey of being life-long readers and as a teacher that is always my ultimate goal.
