I was with my dad the other day and we got to talking about my growing up years. He started telling me about what he would do for bedtime. He then said "I read that book so much, I basically had it memorized! You loved that book!" The 'book' he is referring too is "Pickle Things" by Marc Brown.
"Pickle Things" is one of the classics that is hands-down brilliant! It is simple, silly, beyond random and wonderful. I have read it to some of the kiddos I work with, and they were laughing and saying stuff like "pickles don't take baths!"
Marc Brown also does the illustrations and those are just as amazing as the story itself. This book is one of my go-to books when working with kids. It's perfect for bedtime, a mini lesson for any grade, or for young readers to read it themselves. There are only a few words per each page so it makes them feel like that are reading super fast!
Both Barnes and Noble and Amazon has "Pickle Things" for around $17. At Barnes and Noble its a new hardcover and Amazon is used in "very good" condition. Don't forget to look at your local library! This is a MANDATORY add to any home or school library!
Now, go and READ!!!
