There are certain books that are loved and cherished more than others in our home. Goodnight Gorilla by Peggy Rathman has been one of our daughter's favorites since she was a baby. A new favorite is Rosie's Walk by Pat Hutchins. I was over-the-moon when I found both of these on YouTube! Goodnight Gorilla is extremely well done and our daughter now wants to watch it every night before bed. Another favorite (of mine as well!) is Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen. The animated version is awesome! I created a playlist on YouTube of some of the great ones I have found to date: The Mitten, Owl Babies, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Are You My Mother, and more! Check out the list HERE and please let me know if you know of any other great videos of classic picture books :)
Our daughter LOVES this book! What's not to love about this adorable hen strutting around confidently without a care in the world as, unbeknownst to her, she is being followed by a fox! My daughter, like most children her age, also loves music and retelling a story a million times :) So I decided to put Rosie's Walk to the tune of "She'll Be Comin' 'Round the Mountain" and it was a hit. I hope you can utilize it with your child or children in your classroom. You can grab it for free on my Teacher's Notebook Shop. Just click the picture below :)
