Picture Books for Bigger Kids









Children who are learning to read still enjoy being read to. Picture books often include difficult "rare" words (ones not often used in conversation) which helps their vocabulary and comphrehension skills. Here are some picture books that are great for 1st through 3rd graders.

The Hat by Jan Brett A young girl starts silliness when she airs out her woolen clothes for the winter.

The Mysterious Tadpole by Steven Kellogg It doesn't take long for Louis to realize that he tadpole is not a frog.

Trust Me, Mom! by Angela McAllister Ollie takes his first solo trip to the store, only to find out that his mom didn't warn him about ghosts, witches and aliens!

The Last Badge by George McClements Samuel has earned every badge exept one -- the Moon Frog Badge. Can he earn it and enter his families' book of Scouting Greatness?

Scaredy Squirrel by Melanie Watts Squirrel is frightened of everything and never leaves his tree, until a fortunate accident has him trying out new things.
