I am working in a high-need community in New York. I have been teaching Pre-K in our community school for the last two years. I have 18 wonderful 4 year old children in my class.

The children in my class are at the age when they start to explore books and get a love for literature. Children at this age need to be exposed to shared readings and simple text. Sentences that repeat themselves on the next page so they can join in. They feel so proud when they help you read. The children friendly books that I have in my classroom library are worn out. Pages have fallen out from all of the over use.

It's wonderful to have young children be so excited about books, were you can see how many times the pages have been turned. I am asking for new and hardcover (durable) books written by the acclaimed children's author Eric Carle. It's his books that we go back to day after day. From his classic illustrations in Brown Bear Brown Bear to his own books such as the Very Hungry Caterpillar, Little Cloud, and the Very Grouchy Ladybug, his books teach young readers about different animals, colors, numbers, and feelings. Some of the books I have never had in the classroom, but I know will excite my readers.

I am very excited about all of this literature coming into the classroom. Eric Carle is the perfect children's author and my young students can learn so many concepts from his books. Thank you for your consideration and I can't wait to hear back from you.
