__A to Z: Do You Ever Feel Like Me?__ by Bonnie Hausman - This book has wonderful photographs of children expressing feelings from A to Z. Each page has a paragraph with hints about the missing adjective (with an A to Z glossary in the back). For instance, page A says: When my sistert akes my stuff without asking first, I could just scream. This morning, I found my bow on her teddy bear. I know she's little, but sometimes she makes me so a___. (Marsha)

 * Take Me Out of the Bathtub and Other Silly Dilly Songs** by Alan Katz - This book and the follow-up are great for K-5 students. The "lyrics" to the different poems can be sung to tunes and the kids really enjoy it if you sing (I get them to sing with me).
 * I'm Still Here in the Bathtub and More Silly Dilly Songs by Alan Katz-** Both of these books are helpful for listening to rhyming patterns
