November - Bringing books to life
November Book List
Rocket by Tony Mitton
I am a rocket
crouched on the ground,
waiting quietly
without a sound.
Light this fuse
on my little toe…
Ready for take-off?
Here I go :
WOOOOOOOOOOSH!
This simple action poem is easy to learn by heart and joyous to recite aloud! Can you get your children to curl up quietly then jump up and whoosh like a rocket? You could try asking your group or class what other sounds the rocket might make as it takes off.
What, Why, Wonder
Alphabreaths: The ABCs of Mindful Breathing by Christopher Willard and Daniel Rechtschaffen
In Alphabreaths, children will learn the alphabet and the basics of mindfulness through playful breathing exercises. A brilliant way to create calm, this unusual non-narrative book will come to life through the actions created in the different breaths. I wonder what your favourite will be?
5 Books we love
A real celebration of the power of voice! Use this book to get your children actively involved in using their own voice in lots of different ways. This book requires audience participation & we think it will captivate young readers and inspire a range of brilliant vocalisations. This is one you’ll want to read again and again!
This book’s narrative is really easy to follow! You could make a fantastic story basket or bag with this book, just by grabbing a few toy animals and some boxes! Nothing brings a story to life better than using props!
Have you ever wondered what sound your nose makes when you press it? Then this is the book for you! A lively book that encourages you to join in with different families as they shout, gobble, tickle & beep. This is a great story to add actions to.
A perfect book for our youngest readers. Invite children to get involved in this book by sliding different tabs to reveal new words. Bring this book to life by asking children to think of other words and sounds to go with each picture.
This book is perfect for preschool or Reception children. It asks the reader for help to try to get the duck to blink by creeping, shouting, storytelling & more.
This will inspire lots of brilliant talk & ideas as well as lots of giggles!
