Next, this book is a series that students love.

This book was a Barnes and Noble sale find for me and apparently this video reader as well. It is cute and fun.

Earl The Squirrel by Don Freeman (Amazon)

Finally, this book was a gift to me by my husband years ago and my kids adore it. It only has three colors in it: black, white, and red. Because of this, my students were intrigued.
