Books For 'all About Me' Topic

[Guest ShelleyT]

Does anyone have any good suggestions for books for the topic 'all about me'?

 

I have thought of the funny bones books and owl babies but other than that my mind is blank! Any ideas, especially for thinking about family.

 

All suggestions appreciated! x

Well there was the one recently spoken of called My Mum and Dad Make me Laugh, a story about a family who like spots, stripes and elephants, quite amusing.

 

I wonder if one I read about today would be good for this, Once there were Giants, about a little girl growing up and then becoming a mother herself.

 

What about the Elephant stories, Five Minutes Peace etc. anything by Shirley Hughes.

When mum turned into a monster (ours love this and are unsettled by it too)

Melvin Berger has made a range of books about senses etc. They are good little books. Have you tried going to Amazon and typing in 'about me' and seeing what comes up?

Have uploaded some planning which I used when I was working in Cornwall, so a little 'old' (2002), but very useful - it includes the following, if you haven't time to trawl through the whole planning cycle!
