Annotated Bibliography
Math
Carle, Eric. The World Publishing Company (1969). The Very Hungary Caterpillar.
On an early Sunday morning, “a tiny and very hungry caterpillar” hatches from his egg. Then, he
searches for something to eat. For the following five days (Monday through Friday), the very hungry caterpillar eats an increasing quantity of fruit
. The caterpillar is still hungry. On Saturday, he feasts. That night, he gets a stomach ache from unhealthy overeating. To
recover from Saturday’s stomach ache, the caterpillar eats one green leaf on Sunday. and then feels much better. He is no longer little and hungry; he is now a big and fat caterpillar. He builds a cocoon around himself. He stays inside of it for two weeks, after which he nibbles a hole and pushes his way out. Finally, he develops into a beautiful butterfly. I rate this book a 5 out of 5 because of its fun theme, repetition, and ease of integration into multiple subjects. In lesson planning, I might use this book to help children learn number sense and counting by creating a caterpillar that the children would
then roll a die a feed the corresponding number of pom poms to the caterpillar.
Carter, David A. Little Simon Publishing (1988). How Many Bugs in a box?
A pop-up counting book of funny bugs that pop out of the box every time you turn the page. Each page features a different number of bugs, making this a fun book for teaching the numbers 1-10. I rate this book a 4 out of 5. I like how the book keeps children engaged and allows for many opportunities to ask questions and gauge reading comprehension. In a math lesson, I might use this book by having the children pull a number card from the deck and count the matching number of plastic ants and place them in a small box.
Christelow, Eileen. HMH Books for Young Readers (1991). Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed.
As soon as they say good night to Mama, the five little monkeys start to jump on their bed. But trouble lies ahead as, one by one, they fall off and hurt themselves. I rate this book a 4 out
of 5. I like that it has a catchy rhythm and children love to sing the song. To use this book
in a math lesson I would introduce the children to a tens frame. We would sing the song and as we count, I would add a counter to the tens frame, giving the children a visual.
Sullivan Baranski, Joan. Dutton Juvenile (1963). Round is a Pancake.
Join the members of this quirky royal court as they celebrate all things round. From pancakes to lollipops, cherries to coins. I rate this book a 3 out of 5. What I like about this book is that
it rhymes and is easy to make connections to the real world. To incorporate this book into
a math lesson I would have the children go on a circle hunt in the classroom and try to find as many objects that are round as possible.
Brett, Jab. Penguin Young Readers Group (1987). Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
Goldilocks goes for a walk in the
forest and finds a house. She enters and helps herself to porridge, sits in the chairs, and sleeps in the beds. Meanwhile, the bears

who own the house come home, and much to their surprise they discover what Goldilocks has done to their porridge, chairs, and their beds. Goldilocks wakes with fright when she sees and hears the bears; she jumps from the bed and runs away as fast as
she can. I rate this story a 5 out of 5. I like it because it is entertaining and allows many opportunities to discuss predictions with children. A math lesson that I might use for this book would be to give children a printout of the objects discussed in the book (the 3 bears, the different size chairs, and the beds) and have the children measure these objects using unifix cubes, then compare (tallest to shortest).
Science
Allen, Judy. Kingfisher (2000). Are You a Ladybug?
With its intriguing bug's-eye view
of the world, this new series offers preschoolers a unique perspective on the life cycles and environments of some familiar backyard creatures. The initial question, "Are you a ladybug?” is followed by a series of simple sentences that help children appreciate the differences between themselves and a ladybug. I rate this book a 4 out of 5 because I like the story of the ladybug. It is informative in a way that a child can easily understand. For a science lesson to go along with this book I would have the children draw a picture of a ladybug and label the different parts.
Ehlert, Lois. (1998). Red leaf, yellow leaf.
A young child observes the life cycle of a maple tree, from a fallen seed that sprouts in the woods to being transplanted and sold at a nursery to being replanted and cherished in a new home. I love this book and rate it a 5 out of 5. It’s imaginative, the illustrations are beautiful. A good science lesson to accompany this book would be to go on a nature walk
and collect and study the leaves and seeds found in the book.
Barrett, Judi. Simon & Schuster (1978). Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.
It starts off as any other
regular day, the family sitting down for breakfast, but turns into this magical world outside of that. This world is unlike anything else. Food actually falls from the sky three times a day; for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The residents of Chewandswallow, a small town with extremely unusual weather patterns, carry their plates, cups, glasses, forks, spoons, knives, and napkins because they never knew what kind of "weather" they were going to encounter. I rate this book a 5 out of 5. The story is silly and keeps children engaged. A science lesson for this book might be to make a weather graph with your children. For every weather type day recorded (sunny, rainy, snowy, windy) add a meatball to the chart.
Carle, Eric. Simon & Schuster (1990). Pancakes, Pancakes!
The barnyard rooster crows and Jack wakes up—hungry, of course! What does he want for breakfast? A big pancake! But first, Jack’s mother needs flour from the mill, an egg from the black hen, milk from the spotted cow, butter churned from fresh cream, and firewood for the stove. Will Jack ever get his pancake? I rate this book a 4 out of 5. I love Eric Carle’s style. This book teaches good lessons on patience. Children could assist with measuring ingredients for pancakes as an interactive lesson.
Silverstein, Shel. HarperCollins (1964). The Giving Tree. The book follows the
lives of an apple tree and a boy, who develop a relationship with one another. The tree is very "giving" and the boy evolves into a "taking" teenager, a middle-aged man, and finally an elderly man. Despite the fact that the boy ages in the story, the tree addresses the boy as "Boy" his entire life. I love this book. I rate it a 5 out f 5 because it teaches many great life lessons. For a science lesson to match this book I might create an anchor chart with the children and out the ways that trees help us and things that we can do to help them.
