I know it's July, but I decided to go ahead and share the books that are featured in June! These books can truly be used all year long. I've read Edward the Emu in December one year! Sometimes, you just gotta grab the closet book available. haha!

June's Flipping for Literature packet contains some of my all-time favorite books!
The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson
This is hands-down my favorite book! A little mouse walks through the forest and tricks all of his predators! He makes up a fictional monster to scare them away..... except the Gruffalo is actually real! The story takes a marvelous turn and the mouse has to use his wits to escape! This book is perfect for retelling and sequencing, inferencing, and so so much more! If you snag this book for your therapy room, also pick up The Gruffalo's Child. It's precious!
Edward the Emu by Sheena Knowles
This is also one of my all-time favorite books! Edward is super bored! Nobody visits his exhibit at the zoo. He would much prefer to be a seal or a lion! He escapes his enclosure and stops by a variety of exhibits. He loves pretending to be other animals..... but ultimately, he realizes that he'd rather be himself. It has a beautiful message! This book is also wonderful for sequencing and retelling! There is also a fun sequel called Edwina the Emu!
I love this book so much that I even made a traditional book companion for it too! You can find it in my Teachers Pay Teachers store.
A Camping Spree with Mr. Magee by Chris Van Dusen
This is a must-have for a camping theme! It's hands-down the best camping book I've read. It's funny, witty, and downright enjoyable. It's great for working on rhyming, WH questions, and more! Somehow, someway.. I managed to lose my sample of this flip book. I'm sorry... It's summer and I can't even remember what day of the week it is. haha! #summerbrain
I also made a traditional book companion for this book too! What can I say... when I love a book, I can't get enough activities for it! haha
Smiley Shark by Ruth Galloway
If you've been reading my blog lately, you know I featured this book in my Shark Book Round-Up! Smiley Shark is such a precious story! He's friendly and loves to smile, but he's completely misunderstood! When the other fish see him smile, they swim away in terror. haha! He starts to get lonely and is heartbroken when he finds out the other fish are afraid of him. One day, the other creatures get stuck in a net and Smiley Shark saves the day!
This book has a sequel too! It's called Smiley Shark and the Great Big Hiccup (I think it's still available from The Scholastic Teacher Store)!
