Third Grade List

I am very excited that The Invention of Hugo Cabret won the Caldacott. After looking at all the great list of books I decided to ask my third graders what their favorite books are. So here is their list:

• Diary of a Wimpy Kid
• Harry Potter (series)
• The Lightening Thief (Percy Jackson series)
• Bone
• Rotten School
• Captain Underpants (wow what a surprise!)
• Narnia LWW (they said it was short for Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe)
• The Arrival (this one surprised me because no one has asked if it can be put in a book bag)
• Goosebumps
• Tales of the Crypt
• The Simpson's

It is great to see such a range of books. A few are influenced by what I have brought into the classroom, but that is why I read the book blogs, the NY Times book review, and visit The Bookies. The more I bring in the more excited they become.
