Trashy Town by Andrea Zimmerman and David Clemesha; illustrated by Dan Yaccarino
This book invites participation! Much of the book is repeated phrases such as “dump it in, smash it down, drive around the Trashy Town” “Is the trash truck full yet? No. Mr. Gilly drives on.” And after you turn the page, “Stop!” The repetition allows children to participate and watch the kids as they dump and smash the “garbage” and “drive” around town!

Publishers.Can You Make a Scary Face?by Jan Thomas
The ladybug talks directly to you in this book and asks the reader to do things, such as stand up, then sit down, then stand up again, finally asking you to make a scary face to scare away a hungry frog! Children will love to do the actions the ladybug asks them to do and they will learn that books are fun!

Shout! Shout It Out!by Denise Fleming
Expect a loud storytime when you share this book that invites children not only to participate, but to shout out! Multi-ethical children shout out numbers one through 10, the alphabet, colors, animals, and forms of transportation. This is a fun book to remind adults that children need to participate with the book and asking them to shout is a fun way to do it!

What better way to motivate children to read than to read a book about reading books! Baby Bear loves to hear stories and his family reads to him throughout the day. Some books are wild; others are silly;and others are quiet and calming. Baby Bear hears stories in the yard, in a hammock, at the table, and of course in bed. Every page shows Baby Bear with a pile of books that he loves!
