From the author of Love Me Forever, the Paper Bag Princesshas long been lauded by children’s book lovers for turning the damsel in distress trope on its head. Instead of needing to be rescued, Princess Elizabeth is the one doing the rescuing — of a rather snooty prince. The book is a great one to have in the classroom for that alone, but it’s also ...
David Shannon’s Camilla Cream is very worried about what other students think of her — so worried that she might just break out in a bad case of stripes! Besides opening the door to a social-emotional lesson about forging your own path and not being afraid to walk to the beat of your own drum, A Bad Case of Stripeshas a lot to offer when it comes t...
Kelly Greenawalt’s Princess Truly in I Am Trulyis a great text for teaching primary-aged kids about character traits because the main character spends a lot of the book describing herself, how brave she is, and all the things she can do, from dancing on the moon to taming wild lions. With a little girl of color at the center, this book is a great o...
Kevin Henkes’ book about a little mouse named Chrysanthemumis a popular book to read at the beginning of the school year or on World Kindness Day, but it’s also one that’s tailor-made for as a mentor text for teaching kids to use descriptive words when they’re writing about a character. Chrysanthemum is kind and courageous. Classmates who tease her...
The classic tale of Strega Nona and her pasta pot that won’t stop cooking is an old favorite, and it’s perfect for teaching character traits (you knew we were going to say that, didn’t you?). Students can practice using descriptive language when comparing and contrasting Strega Nona and Big Anthony, as well as making predictions, and identifying pr...
Children’s book author Carter Goodrich gets kids and their humor. He was a lead character designer of Brave, Ratatouille, and Despicable Me, and his book Nobody Hugs a Cactusis an irresistible tale of Hank, the prickly cactus who does not love noise or rowdiness … or hugs. But in a fabulous example of internal traits, we follow along with Hank thro...
Written by Andrea Beaty, whose other books made our list of favorite engineering books to share in the classroom, Ada Twist, Scientist, is a great book for moving your primary students into more complex descriptive language. Ada is curious and interested in science. Teach Starter Tip:Create an anchor chart with your students, brainstorming descript...
The Molly Lou Melon books by Patty Lovellhit all the sweet spots when it comes to mentor texts for writing about character traits. As a picture book, they offer rich character descriptions for even older elementary students to analyze about a girl who has “a voice that sounds like a bullfrog being squeezed by a boa constrictor.”
Based on a real-life event from author Patricia Polacco’s The Junkyard Wondersoffers a great chance to do some real-life learning along with your read-aloud. Before opening up the book, rub scents onto students’ hands — you can use smelly markers, LipSmackers. There should be at least three to four students bearing each scent, so they can wander ar...

Aug 6, 2024 · Using cardboard lap books (or small science report boards), students include details about their book’s main characters, plot, setting, conflict, resolution, etc. Then they draw a head and arms on card stock and attach them to the board from behind to make it look like the main character is peeking over this book report.
