Mrs. Wishy Washy

When asked about my favorite children's book.  It is a very difficult decision.  I love so many books, but I have one author that I just adore for the age group of students that I teach.  Her name is Joy Cowley.  She is an amazing author.  I chose to post a picture of one my favorites to read to the students this time of year.  Mrs. Wishy-Washy's Farm.  The students just love this book.  They think it is hilarious that the animals run away and then come back ready to take their baths.  I love the language in this book as well.  I allows for lots of teachable moments in the area of vocabulary.  I find it leads to good discussions.  I hope that if you have never heard of Joy Cowley that you will check in your library and see if you can get your hands on some Joy Cowley and let your students and yourself enjoy the great literature she has to offer our students.
