Some GREAT picture books

Trosclair and the Alligator

By: Peter Huggins
Illustrated by Lindsey Gardiner

A wonderful book about a small boy who encounters Gargantua, the huge gigantic alligator as he is out hunting turtle eggs. Learn all about how he and his dog Ollie trick the alligator and get away.

Great read for Kindergarten and older.


The Three Little Javelinas

By: Susan Lowell
Illustrated by: Jim Harris

A funny southwestern take on the Three Little Pigs. My students love this book and the illustrations are wonderful. We spent time talking about how different letters make different sounds while learning about Javelinas. The students liked the ending.

Great for Kindergarten and above.
