More Great Books for 1st Graders!

“Tacky the Penguin”… by Helen Lester Tacky is a penguin but he’s not your typical penguin. He doesn’t march in a straight line and he doesn’t dive gracefully and he definitely doesn’t sing pretty songs. He’s just plain different. One day some hunters come and they are looking for penguins, you know the kind that march in a straight line, dive gracefully, and sing pretty songs. Tacky doesn’t know that he should run away from the hunters like a typical penguin would. In fact, he’s the only penguin that the hunters find. What will happen to Tacky? To the other penguins? Will being different finally get Tacky into real trouble??



“Curious George Rides a Bike” by H. A. Rey
Can you imagine how much trouble a curious little monkey like George might get into with a bike?  He heads out to explore the town with his new bike, has a mishap, and they next thing he knows, he’s part of a circus.  But the trouble doesn’t stop there.
