QUALITY STORYTENTS
A resource for family, early childhood and community literacy workers
These are mostly non-fiction. Movie Storybooks, books about sharks, insects, space, superheroes (Captain Underpants), and celebrities (Mary Kate and Ashley) are interesting. These books attract children and families to the tent, and are especially useful for drawing in reluctant readers.
We make an effort to find or purchase books that the children said they were interested in, and books that were popular read-alouds. Popular authors include:
Robert Munsch
Sheree Fitch
Donald Crews
Paulette Bourgeois
Barbara Reid
Phoebe Gilman
Dav Pilkey
Marc Brown
Frank Asch
Ezra Jack Keats
Byron Barton
Dr. Suess
Bill Martin Jr.
Eric Carle
Sandra Boynton
