I often found teachers throwing them away because they weren't glitzy looking like the newer books out today. I became a Reading Specialist for 9 yrs. and I used the book Petunia learns to Read in Many of my demonstrations for teachers in reading instruction. Great little books!!<br />Blessings<br />Gmama JaneGmama Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02866486725742104875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333305997336514656.post-28484025675233941482010-02-21T01:53:00.547-06:002010-02-21T01:53:00.547-06:00Stories about Petunia used to be included in our r...Stories about Petunia used to be included in our reader at school.

We rely on our local library for good recommendations which they are pretty good at. <br /><br />We have one good old standby we go to every winter--you never can beat reading the Laura Ingalls series together!Carmen Rigby-Willsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04363968178217671641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333305997336514656.post-65745144349540149612010-02-18T20:51:52.458-06:002010-02-18T20:51:52.458-06:00Jess & I used to love to read a book called Mi...Jess & I used to love to read a book called Minerva Louise. She is a chicken with a limited view so comes to some odd conclusions. We would laugh so hard. <br />The childrens' library didn't use to be very organized and we'd have a hard time finding it.judycolbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03178633666261662585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333305997336514656.post-88662917051291661102010-02-18T18:20:58.856-06:002010-02-18T18:20:58.856-06:00Thank you so much for sharing these books!

I would also recommend "One Morning in Maine" by Robert McCloskey.
