Wake Up Mr. B!

Wake Up Mr. B!, written and illustrated by Penny Dale, is s fun picture book for children about a young girl named Rosie and her imaginary adventures with her dog, Mr. B. While there is minimal text in the story, this book is perfect for beginning readers to engage in simple sentence structure, and follow a fun story, aided by beautiful images and scenes. I love how the pictures are broken up into panels, it is a great way to allow the teacher to have a dialog with the students about the progression of the story as well as take time to relate each scene to the children's lives, in order to make reading a relevant part of their own lives. I believe that this would be a terrific story to start a morning in a classroom, to help rev up young minds to think differently and get ready to use their imaginations.
