Stacks on Stacks of Summer Stories!

Welcome back to Cozy Book Corner! Last month, we talked about the pleasures of diving into a good book over the summer. This month, I’m dreaming bigger—why stop at one book when you can dive into dozens? Look at it this way: Did you ever go to the fair and go from ride to ride until you ran out of tickets? Books are like that! Whether you stick to one genre or explore them all, one thing’s for sure: you’ll want a big stack of books by your side!

Here in the Cozy Book Corner, we always take the time to marvel at the books PVB has in its collection: a treasure trove of stories and information just waiting to be discovered. We have books that can be the difference between a dull summer afternoon and an adventure to Jamaica or Switzerland. Some books uncover the mystery of the floss rule or the many jobs of silent e (so many jobs!).

Let’s look at a tiny sampling of some of PVB’s best dives into reading:

Ms. Lesky’s Pesky Second Grade Set 1

If you are a second grade teacher, for better or for worse, you will absolutely identify with Ms. Lesky, whose second grade class tests every boundary and classroom rule. If you are not a classroom teacher, you will be ROFL from the first to the final page of every book in the set!

Viruses and Vaccines

Attention, all earthlings! The next time you are asked to get a vaccine for a wily virus, you may wish that viruses didn’t exist at all. PVB’s Discover Our World series has produced yet another page-turner loaded with scientific exploration, historical perspective, and compelling graphics.

A Birthday Cake for Jasper

How do I love this decodable book? Let me count the ways! First, the story gets me every time: Katie wants to make a fish cake for her pet cat. I can smell it now! Second, opportunities abound for teaching long vowel a. And third, the graphics are completely merry—the cake itself seems to know how bad it smells and loves it. This book, like all the Phonics Storybooks, does not disappoint.

Luckily, PVB is here to help you grow your summer reading stack. So go on every ride until the fair shuts down! And imagine a bookshelf so tall it stretches up to the clouds and is filled with every kind of book imaginable—from baseballs to Zambonis. Then see yourself reading each and every one. You are made for this!
