Aug 30, 2023

Need new book recommendations? Teachers often use these picture books in their classrooms to engage students, build early reading skills, and teach important lessons like confidence, kindness, and friendship — and they'll be favorites in your home, too.

Teacher picks such as A Bad Case of Stripes, Make Way for Butterfly, and No, David! will anchor your child's bookshelf with unforgettable stories. Captivate your child with them during storytime, and watch their reading skills and love of books skyrocket as a result.
