Must Have Picture Book

I am joining The Teacher Wife and her linky party!
I have so many favorites that it is hard for me to pick just three. I like to start and end my day with a picture book. It really sets the tone for the day, and can really calm students down!

Here are my three for the party!
I just love Ish, By Peter Reynolds
It is a wonderful story about just being you and doing things at your best - even if you think someone may be better. I also love the drawings!

 The Old Woman Who Named Things is possibly my favorite book ever, and I get teary eyed just talking about it. It is a heart warming story of an old woman who has outlived everyone and doesn't want to attach to anyone else - especially an adorable puppy. It is a perfect story about friendship and love. Just beautiful.

I am sure this is a classic favorite, but I just love how the story ends, and Kevin Henkes is just a genius for children's literature! 

Be sure to stop by the linky party and join in the fun!
