A Picture {Book} is Worth a Thousand Words!

I've been looking for some new books to add to my ever growing classroom library. I've done a great job with the novels but sometimes, we all just want to read something shorter! I just confessed today to some of my blogging besties that I've been really slacking on my reading this summer and feel like I'm in a reading rut, however, picture books have been my reading savior! They short and easy and still capture my attention eve at thirty-plus years old! Therefore, I've been shopping at Amazon and Half-Price looking some great picture books to add to my library! Picture books are truly worth a thousand words!

Here's a few books I'm planning on using to start off my year! 

Don't forget to follow me on Twitter! I'm hoping to tweet out some more amazing books and words of wisdom from the Scholastic Reading Summit tomorrow! Hopefully, I'll be able to grow  my picture book collection even more!

What are some of your favorite back to school picture books?
