Five Little Monkeys Jumping on a Bed
This humorous picture book is great for teaching young children to count backwards from 5. It also has repetitive elements that children can learn quickly to repeat and they can soon learn to "read" it through memorization.

Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?
This book is an awesome book that children really love. It can be sung to the melody to the first part of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. Children quickly learn to sing it and the words before actually being able to read.

Where the Wild Things Are
This is an old, but classic book. This is a traditional travel story with wonderful educational elements. Children still love this classic story and now has a connection to a movie.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas
This wonderful Dr. Seuss story with magnificent rhyming elements intrigues children. The old cartoon and the more modern movie also give good connections for the story, but children still love the story itself, especially around Christmas time.
