I thought this book seemed interesting The Midnight Fox by Betsy Byars. It's about a boy named Tommy who doesn't really want to go live with his aunt and uncle but he does and he ends up becoming very close to a black fox. This was one of the author's first books, she also states that parts of the story come from her own life. There is more insight about this book at http://www.betsybyars.com/midnight.html.
The Doorbell Rang by Pat Hutchins, is a book that incorporates math and literature into one kid and teacher friendly book. The book is about a grandma that makes cookies and a bunch of kids keep coming and getting the cookies, then another group of kids comes rings the doorbell, and there are more cookies given out. There are patterns and math computations in this book.There is more about the book and the author at http://www.carolhurst.com/titles/doorbellrang.html.
I found this cool book for Spanish speakers. It is a bilingual book that is written in both English and in Spanish. It is a great for both English speakers and Spanish speakers to teach the both languages. It is called Antonio's Card, La Tarjeta de Antonio, by Rigoberto González and Illustrated by Cecilia Concepción Alvarez. The book has very colorful pictures and a great story. It can be previewed at http://www.childrensbookpress.org/our-books/latino/antonios-card.
