What do these all have in common? They're the growing group of books that belong in a series. While many of these books can stand alone, they have become so popular that authors have included the characters in sequential books. Some of the series include 50 or more book titles; some as few as 3 titles. Of course who can forget the authors we grew up with - Marguerite Henry, Beverly Cleary, Donald Sobol, Louisa May Alcott, Walter Farley, or C.S. Lewis? I remember reading every "Bobbsey Twins" book my elementary teacher had. I also enjoyed the "Timber Trail Riders" series and own some original copies!
Some popular series titles are as follows....
Inkheart Trilogy by Cornelia Funke
Berenstain Bears by Stan and Jan Berenstain
Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot
Diary of a Wimpy Series by Jeff Kinney
The Missing by Margaret Peterson Haddix
Junie B. Jones Series by Barbara Park
The Boxcar Children by Gertrude Chandler Warner
Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling
The Magic Tree House Series by Mary Pope Osborne
Twilight Saga by Stephenie Mayer
Arthur Chapter by Marc Brown
There are so many more! Check with your school or public library for more ideas!
This week I will be in the WH school district on Monday, April 26th, only. I will meet with 3-Bruns. We will watch a film, "The Diary of a Spider." Using the information gleaned from the film we will make a list of spider facts.
Next week I will meet with 3-Bruns on Tuesday and K-Geelan and 2-Glawe on Thursday.
JUST READ IT!
