New Favorite Easy Fiction

There are some great Easy Fiction books being published! Designed especially for storytime. One of my new favorites is "One Frog Sang" by Shirley Parenteau. This picture book works well in a counting storytime theme or it may be used to emphasize phonological awareness in an animal storytime theme. The illustrations by Cynthia Jabar are bright and vibrant. They fill every page. "One Frog Sang" is perfect for an interactive storytime adventure with preschoolers. Another fun book to supplement a counting storytime is "How Many Mice?" by Michael Garland.
