More Than Common Core
You’re Pulling My Leg!: 400 Human-Body Sayings from
Head to Toe by Pat Street & Eric Brace This handy volume of idioms is perfect for elementary students
and English language learners. The eye-catching illustrations are
reminiscent of Laurie Keller’s The Scrambled States of America
and Open Wide: Tooth School Inside.
The Slowest Book Ever by April Pulley Sayre Science and nature rub shoulders with pop culture and history in
this ode to slowness. From Great Basin bristlecone pine trees
that can live 3,200 years to television stations that show 12
uninterrupted hours of firewood burning, the examples that
Sayre presents offer plenty of opportunity to readers to slow
down and take a second look at things that might otherwise be
overlooked. The tone is humorous, and the facts are backed up
with sources and more details in the endnotes. This book is the
antidote for a hurried childhood, playfully
encouraging readers to slow down and savor everything.
Don’t limit your love of magical books to Harry Potter.
