It’s officially FALL…. This week’s Bashful Book Bee recommendations are great books to share with children about the excitement of the season… With the cooler air the weather makes us all excited to anticipate the fun events we look forward to in October and November.  The changing of the leaves, the soft winds, we can feel the anticipation of our first fire in the fireplace.  I hope fall brings you joy.  Our selections of this week should provide you with great books to bring the fun of fall to your children. 

This week’s Bashful Book Bee “BEELOVED FEATURE book is:
 

How Big Could Your Pumpkin Grow
by Wendell Minor

This book is a fun adventure using fourteen states, exploring many of their famous landmarks…while using various synonyms of the word BIG to describe the landmarks with size and scale words that are descriptive of the state. The pictures are colorful, the words are creatively fun.  This book will be great for descriptive writing and reading lessons, but a perfect book to use for building your newest fall social studies lesson.
