Lauren Thompson is a great author.  Her Mouse series highlights the many firsts encountered by a little mouse.  Mouse’s First Halloween follows inquisitive little mouse through all sorts of Halloween experiences which in the end all prove not to be so scary after all.  This is a gentle Halloween tale that would make a great read aloud.

Founding Mothers: Remembering the Ladies – Cokie Roberts

After traveling to Washington D.C. this past summer and learning a great deal about the founding of our country, this book was a wonderful read to learn more about the mothers, wives, and daughters of our founding fathers and their many contributions.   Founding Mothers: Remembering the Ladies is a bit more dense than most picture books.  It provides detailed non-fiction information for older elementary students.
