Heart Warming Books

In honor of the new year and dropping temperatures, I thought I'd share some heart-warming books! These books are the best medicine on a cold night! Bundle up, mix up the cocoa, and get ready to read a great book! Here are a few of my favorite books from the past few years that help get my reluctant readers on board in the new year!

All of these books are wonderful for kids that just can't find that "right" book. Some books help students see the magic in reading and others help students realize that they are not alone in the problems they face. I've shared many of these books with  my own fifth graders and several including Hound Dog True, One for the Murphys and Savvy are part of my book clubs. I also included Crenshaw as a read aloud this year and my fifth graders all gave it glowing praise!

Also, there is still time to join the #SixtyBooks linky! Remember, it's about committing to reading as a daily part of your life you - not the number! 

Here's to cozying up with a great book in 2016!
