Start School Off Right With Kevin Henkes


Today I am linking up with my favorite author and his wonderful books!!!

I love all of the books by Kevin Henkes...my students can relate to all of his characters and remember all of their details even on the last day of school.  Their favorite characters?  Wendell, Victor, Chrysanthemum, and of course, Lilly!

These books are being discounted on Amazon right now!!!  Go check them out!  Be sure to look at the Kindle prices!  They are AWESOME!!

All of these titles are already linked to Amazon...just click to go look at the prices!



 About an imaginary friend.

You have to love Lilly....there is a little bit of her in all of us!



A Caldecott Winner!!!  It is all about Owen's baby blanket!!  So sweet!





I have had some guests like Wendell before!!

This one comes with a CD for a listening center!!  Excellente!


Here is a packet from my friend Winter Bowers did that I use every year when I use the book about Sheila Rae.  It is phenomenal to use at the beginning of the year with 2nd graders.  I apologize that these are so blurry, but I snatched them off of TpT's thumbnails because Winter is off on her summer vacation!!!  There are several pages in the packet!  Below are some thumbnails of just a few.










I also found stuffed animals that students can read to during buddy reading!!!  How cute!

Look how cute Penny is!  There is also an Owen and Lilly doll!


And, if you want to make life easy, just grab this teacher's helper!  I have it and it is great!

  3. Don't you just love Kevin Henkes!! After we read Chrysanthemum and The Old Lady Who Names Things (not Kevin Henkes) we write the story of our own names in our Writer's Notebooks! It's a great way to start our year in writing! Found you on the Picture book Linky!
