So, You Want to Be a Wizard? (Poetry) por Wes Magee

Great book for a teacher to pick out a poem and read to the class for either some down time or for a writing prompt. It is also a good book for at home too. Some of the poems seemed to require more thinking power than others so a teacher or parent should read it before sharing with their child(ren) to make sure they can understand it.

The Wheels on the Bus-- The Boat on the Waves por Wes Magee

This was a cute illustrated version of the song, the wheels on the bus. There was a page that asked the students to read along and I thought that was a really cute add on, it lets the students read along with something that they probably already know, while reading. I think that it is a legend, possibly, because it has been passed down for a long time and taught to many generations. Media- Pencil

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star por Wes Magee

This book has illustration and an extension to the nursery rhyme "twinkle twinkle little star." This would be good to show images of the space and then talk about it some too. It is clearly fantasy because kids can't go into space without a rough in a spaceship.. Media-water color

Itsy Bitsy Spider and Itsy Bitsy Beetle (Tadpoles… por Wes Magee

This simple easy reader book brings nursery rhymes back into scope for beginning readers. The book is divided into two sections. The first is the traditional rhyme. Then there is a short break, where the entire song is written on one page followed by a mini pop-quiz (can you point to the rhyming words?) The next section is a brand new rhyme that follows the same pattern as the first. I think this will appeal for the kids who like nursery rhymes, during the K to 1st grade stage. The illustrations are playful, and the text isn't fairly simple. Its only the song, broken down over the span of a few pages. I do like that you can read the entire song on one page at the very end as a recap to the previous pages.

This is one of a series of books that provide an old and new nursery rhyme for the kids. There are 4 other titles in the Tadpol Nursery Rhymes series. Over a dozen books in the regular Tadpole series (all original stories) and lastly, there are the Tadpole Tales (folk & fairytale stories). This is a great collection for any library (at home, school, or a free little library). I like that there are mini activities after each little segment. Whether its pointing to the words that rhyme, or figuring out the puzzle at the end.
