Letter N Book List
The books in this list feature these letter n words: nest, noisy, numbers, napping, night, no, & Nora.
A Nest is Noisy by Dianna Hutts Aston is part of a greater collection of nonfiction books that are fantastic for kids. A Nest is Noisy uses descriptive words to show different kinds of nests from different kinds of animals. If you have a very young child, you can read the larger words, leaving out the smaller words added to some of the pages.
From the author of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom comes Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3, a fun little rhyming book about numbers 1-100. Poor 0 doesn’t know his place in the tree, but he becomes the hero and saves all the numbers from the buzzing bees. In year’s past, we’ve found YouTube videos {not sure if it’s still there} that sing this book and my kids have all loved that.
My Nest is Best by P.D. Eastman is a remake of an older book, The Best Nest. While both books are great, My Nest is Best is more interactive than the original book with flaps and wheels. If you have a toddler or preschooler who likes to take apart books to see how they’re made {ahem}, you’re going to want to supervise the use of this one. 🙂
The Napping House is a very special book to our family because Nannie {grandma} loves it so much. I have seen her curl up with my kiddos many-a-time to read it. The illustrations are rich with color and each page truly tells its own story. I love all the synonyms for napping, too!
Night in the Country by Cynthia Rylant is such a simple book, but filled with words that will truly get kids to experience the country through their five senses. While young kids may enjoy this one, I’ve also used it for teaching figurative language and visualizing.
No, No, Titus! by Claire Masurel features a cute little farm dog named Titus who loves to get into mischief. Each time, he’s met with “No, no, Titus!” But what will Titus do when a fox sneaks to the hen house in the middle of the night? Will he bark or remember the words, “No, no!” Such a great read any time, but this book goes particularly well with a farm theme.
The Book with No Pictures by B. J. Novak is a newer one to our family library and is one that the kids ask for quite a lot. While I don’t really care for the “Boo Boo Butt” page, because I find my kids saying that phrase over and over again, the book is adorable and drives home the point that you can have a fun book with no pictures!
Nora wants some attention, but everyone is busy doing their own thing. So, Nora decides to bring attention to herself by banging and making a lot of noise, hence Noisy Nora. Her family gets annoyed with her {her sister actually calls here “dumb”, which I don’t particularly care for} and Nora fakes a run away to get everyone looking for her.
