Inspired Quills

Besides Harry Potter, of course!

For those of you who do not know from the Discord channel, I am now a first grade teacher! I am currently working on building my classroom library. I have already bought all of the books required by the curriculum, and I am very happy with the direction of culturally, racially, and philosophically diverse books we have this year! But I am always looking to expand my library, and I want opinions on what I should add to my library

I have some students who are currently pre-literate or speak zero English, and I have some students who are close to third grade level. So please send me any ideas from board books to early chapter readers! I'd really appreciate it!

Paper bag princess (not sure if level here though)
Anything by Dr. Seuss
Where the wild things are
Winnie the Pooh

I always loved the Jan Brett books. The illustrations are fantastic and there are usually smaller stories told in the page border illustrations.

The Phantom Toll-Booth. One of my all-time favorites!

Also 'Matilda" by Roald Dahl.

The Mouse and The Motorcycle by Beverly Clearly

Junie B. Jones was always a favorite of mine, also Princess Bella and the Red Velvet Hat.

These are some great book recommendations. Thank y'all so much!
