Monster Books – Emberley
In October, Monster books are very popular. Ed and Rebecca Emberley books are a great way to include some monster reading in your classroom. One of their books: Go Away, Big Green Monster! (See all Teen Classic Literature Books)
is a great one to start with. Here’s a lesson plan for some phonics teaching to go along with the book.
Here’s some of the Emberely’s other monster books:
There Was An Old Monster! (See all Children’s Halloween Books)
Ed Emberley’s Big Green Drawing Book (Ed Emberley’s Big Series) (See all Children’s Sculpture Books)
Bye-Bye, Big Bad Bullybug! (See all Children’s Basic Concepts Books)
Glad Monster, Sad Monster (See all Children’s Basic Concepts Books)
Ed Emberley’s Drawing Book of Halloween (Ed Emberley Drawing Books) (See all Children’s Halloween Books)

This is a great book for the first week to read and discuss friendship and playing together. The Recess Queen
Thriftbooks.com
As a teacher, I have a special love for books that my pocketbook cannot always support. A friend mentioned Thriftbooks to me a few weeks ago and I’m addicted! They sell used books, mostly from libraries, with no shipping costs! All the books I’ve ordered and received so far have been in pretty good condition. Many are library bound which has helped them last. If you’re looking to add to your personal or classroom library, click on the link on the right side of my blog.
