I like VanAllsburg's Just a Dream., Barbara Cooney's Miss Rumphius,, Bill Peet's Wump World and Farewell to Shady Glade, Seuss's The Lorax. Lynn Cherry's The River Ran Wild - These are all great books for teaching about environmental issues, and all of them are quite persuasive!

I'm in need of some persuasive texts to share w/ my 2nd graders. Here's what was in the list in the book, all of which I've just ordered from Amazon (and which I'm hoping my principal will pay for!!): Common Ground, Bang Dear Children of the Earth, Schimmel Why Should I Recycle?, Green/Gordon The Peace Book, Parr The Librarian of Basra, Winter Dear World, Noda Our library has The Meanest Thing to Say by Bill Cosby, and I'm still researching where to find 2 books by Joy Cowley (The Smile, and Sky to Sea). If anyone has taught this unit, or one like it, are there any other suggestions for mentor texts? Thank you!
