Children’s Book Discovery

My local library has a huge mural on their main wall in the children’s room.  When you enter, it is across the way, in full view for people to see.  It is bigger than life and attracts everyone.

Including me.

The mural is a painting in an attic.  In the far corner a man is entering and discovers… well, you’ll see.  All the items in the attic are from children’s books.  Some are fairly easy to spot, others are tricky.

Here are pictures from left to right:

The one that stumped me was Virginia Lee Burton’s The Little House.

Have fun!

About Jennie

I have been teaching preschool for over forty years. This is my passion. I believe that children have a voice, and that is the catalyst to enhance or even change the learning experience. Emergent curriculum opens young minds. It's the little things that happen in the classroom that are most important and exciting. That's what I write about. I was a live guest on the Kelly Clarkson Show. I am highlighted in the seventh edition of Jim Trelease's million-copy bestselling book, "The Read-Aloud Handbook" because of my reading to children. My class has designed quilts that hang as permanent displays at the National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia, the Fisher House at the Boston VA Hospital, and the Massachusetts State House in Boston.
