Miss Little's Gift

Miss Little's Gift by Douglas Wood, illustrated by Jim Burke, Candlewick Press, 2009, ISBN 978-0-7636-1686-1
Tells the author's own study of battling ADHA as a child, and of the patient teacher who helped him learn to read. It's all about "the importance of the right book at the right time, and ...the impact of a good teacher." (book jacket)
By the way, the "right book at the right time" for Douglas was The Little Island by Golden MacDonald (a pseudonym for Margaret Wise Brown), which was first published in 1946. It won the Caldecott Medal for Leonard Weisgard's illustrations.

Lola!

Lola Loves Stories and Lola at the Library by Anna McQuinn, illustrated by Rosalind Beardshaw, Charlesbridge Publishing, 2010 and 2006, ISBN 978-1-58089-259-9 and 978-1-58089-142-4.
PS: Lola loves to hear Daddy read a new library book each night, an activity that spurs her imagination and results in inventive play the next day. I love this book! It suggests so many possibilities and makes reading and imaginative play sound SO appealing!
PS: Every Tuesday Lola and her mother visit their local library to return and check out books, attend story readings, and share a special treat. this one would be especially good to read at the beginning of the school year in order to introduce and/or reinforce library procedures.
Good for Kindergartners.
