Chapter 12
Madeline, Reissue of 1939 edition by Ludwig Bemelmans Author and Illustrator. A short children's story about a young girl who lives with eleven other girls in a home in Paris and who has to go to the hospital to have her appendix removed. It was a 1940 Caldecott Honor book a runner-up to the Medal winner for best illustration in a book for children. This book, and others in the Madeline series, have become classics in children literature and every serious student of children literature should have it on their shelves. Children love these books.
As a child, some of my favorite books were the Madeline stories. The illustrations are wonderful, and it's fun to see illustrations of actual Parisian landmarks such as the Opera, Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame and Tulleries. The story is fun, fast and catchy, and I used to wish that I was one of the little girls standing amongst the two straight lines.

The Complete Adventures of Curious George by H.A. Rey. Sixty years have passed since a curious little chimp in Africa met the man with the big yellow hat and got into the first of many scrapes. Decades later, George is as curious--and naughty--as ever. To celebrate the 60th anniversary of Curious George's debut, this special edition is a collection of seven classic adventures by Margret and H.A. Rey. The many generations of fans of the "good little monkey who was always very curious" will be fascinated to learn how H.A. and Margret escaped on bicycle from German-occupied Paris, with just their winter coats and several picture books. Photos and essays reveal H.A. to have been a gentle, humorous man, while Margret, by all accounts, was spirited and brutally direct, with a keen business mind. The chemistry between them worked beautifully. Between them, they created one of the most beloved characters in children's literature. This handsome volume includes Curious George, Curious George Takes a Job, Curious George Rides a Bike, Curious George Gets a Medal, Curious George Flies a Kite, Curious George Learns the Alphabet, and Curious George Goes to the Hospital.
My nephews love this lovely classic and they beg me to read it to them. Especially when I read about how Curious George learned the alphabets in a different way, Wow! That's great. I would like to recommend this book for kids who are in pre-K to Grade 3. I really love it.

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs is by Judi Barrett and illustrated by Ron Barrett. It is about a tiny town of Chewandswallow was very much like any other tiny town except for its weather which came three times a day, at breakfast, lunch and dinner. But it never rained rain and it never snowed snow and it never blew just wind. It rained things like soup and juice. It snowed things like mashed potatoes. And sometimes the wind blew in storms of hamburgers. Life for the townspeople was delicious until the weather took a turn for the worse. The food got larger and larger and so did the portions. Chewandswallow was plagues by damaging floods and storms of huge food. The town was a mess and the pople feared for their lives. Something had to be done, and in a hurry.
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is one of my all time favorite books. I don't remember how old I was when I first read this book.I STILL love this story.

Chapter 12
In chapter 12 I learn about Independent Reading. As teacher, there are ways to encourage independent reading. For example, well-stocked Library, helping students select books, keeping track, and Book Sharing. In this chapter I also learn about the critical elements of individualized reading. The student must be able to Self-selection of titles, responding to books, one-on-one time with each student, and focus on reading strategies. The elements for reading workshop are opening activities, daily read-aloud time, mini lessons, closing session, daily quite reading time and activities time.
