Reginald the Carrier Pigeon where are you?

I have 6 bursting bookshelves. Two are for my "read but want to keep" books. The other four are overflowing with tbr books. This shelf is in my living room and is where I put the ones I want to get to soon. The other 3 shelves are fairly organized alphabetically, while this one is chaos. All together I probably have about 700 tbr books. ?

@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

This MF-S book is ideal for younger students and can be told with little puppets or cutouts. This book is about toys sitting and waiting on a window watching the world happen while they wait to be played with. UDL 1.1 would be good here with a fun way to display the story and EL 17.

Waiting is a MF picture book written and illustrated by Kevin Henkes. It is the story of patiently waiting for things to happen, there is a great emphasis on imaginative play. Such a cute story that would be great for S with cute puppets or even felt cutouts. This book is winner of the Caldecott Honor and is a Geisel Honor Book. #UCFLAE3414SU20

In this F. “Waiting” by Kevin Henkes is a sweet book about toys sitting on a windowsill waiting to be played with. It won both the Caldecott + Geisel Honor in 2016. I think it would be fun to teach as a S, having the different toys and scene for each toy to tell the story!

I found a great resource to use along with the book, it has discussion questions + activities! https://www.teachingbooks.net/media/pdf/HarperCollins/Waiting_2015.pdf

Review: Waiting by Kevin Henkes, 2015, is a Caldecott Honor book about toys waiting for things to happen as they sit on their windowsill.
Blurb: This book has amazing illustrations and not a lotto words because the pictures do the talking. I would use this as a read aloud book since like I said, there aren't many actual sentences.
Quote: “Once a visitor arrived from far away. He stayed a while, then he left and never returned.“

Waiting is a F, Caldecott and Geisel award winning book by Kevin Henkes about a stuffed animal pig, bear, puppy, and rabbit waiting by a window for something to happen. This is a great book to teach kids about patience. I think this book would be good as a RA. This video is a good example of a RA of this book: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=89bZv8tEOx4

“they saw many wonderful, interesting things“

I like the illustrations and the fact that it was a happy ending.

I don't know if I'm really a fan of this book just because it's so repetitive about the animals waiting for whatever it is that they're waiting on. I guess it teaches children to have patience, though.

This fantasy fiction book by Kevin Henkes was a Theodore Suess Giles Honor Book and Caldacott Honor. I think this book would be great for kindergarten or 1st grade. I think that it teaches kids that if you want something sometimes you have to wait for it to happen. I feel like this book also teaches kids not to judge someone by their outside appearances because you never know what is going on with them on the inside. #ucflae3414f19

“Waiting to see what would happen next.”

The illustrations of all the cute animals was my favorite part!

This was such a cute story with cute illustrations. I think this is a great book to read to little kids! I also think its educational because it talks about weather and how certain objects correspond with the weather. Like an umbrella with rain.

“The rabbit was happy just looking out the window.“

The illustrations were beautiful in this story, I loved all the pastel colors and that's really what drew me into the story.

This Caldecott honor book was a very cute story about all kinds of creatures who were all waiting! I think this is a sweet story with beautiful animations. I think that this book would be great with younger children but I think that even older children could find joy in.

“Now there were ten of them, and they were happy together. Waiting to see what would happen next.”

I like how this book emphasizes how little things can make someone so happy.

Waiting is a Caldecott winning book written by Kevin Henkes. This story is all about imagination. The characters are children‘s toys. The book is exciting in a calming way.

“Now, there were ten of them. And they were happy together.”

This is a cute story talking about being with friends and spending precious time with one another.

Waiting by Kevin Henkes is a Caldecott winning book that was published in 2016. There were five characters and each of them were waiting for something different. The owl was waiting for the moon and the the pig was waiting for the moon and the bear was waiting for the wind. The puppy is waiting for the snow and the rabbit wasn‘t really waiting for anything specific. Then there was a cat that was a Russian nesting doll and had 10 total and waited.

“Sometimes one or the other went away, but he or she always came back”

Waiting can bring many happy things to life!

What are they waiting for? 5 of them! They were all waiting for different things. Waiting to use their props. They were all happy once they got what they were waiting for
-caldecott

Loved the curiosity! Kept me constantly on my toes guessing what might come next!

This book expressed what it needed to say through illustrations. You were determined to tell your own story. The pictures were clear about the characters motives. The setting changed based on the characters needs and kept me anxious to read more!

Waiting, Caldecott Honor B winner by Kevin Henkes is great for kindergarten age students. Toys in a child‘s room sit in the window waiting for things to show up. One toy waits for the moon, another waits for the rain...cute picture book/short sentences. UDL principles 3.1&3.2 activating prior knowledge and big ideas along with EL 4 & 14 could be met with this book. Lesson-waiting for things. #LAE3414sp19 TS-RA,S https://Kevin henkes.com/

#MusicalNewYear Day 18: #Waiting depicts the gradual passing of the seasons, the sound made by the turning of a leaf, and friends who stand by the window #waiting for something magnificent to begin. Beautiful picturebook.

... For three library holds, for all of which I'm next in line... For a package to come from UK for a book swap I have to send... For estimates and scheduling for some home repairs in the works... Do you ever have one of those weeks? 😂 Going to read some short stories while I wait.

Waiting by Kevin Henkes is a great F picture book about five toys who are happily waiting for something to happen. Each toy is waiting for something different. The bear is waiting for the wind, the pig is waiting for the rain and the rabbit is just looking out the window waiting for something, anything to happen, he is just happy waiting. This book is great for RA in pre-k and kindergarten because it is very low level. (Continue in comment)

/\ Me since I woke up this morning!! Hugs Litsy friends!

Waiting, by Kevin Henkes, is a Caldecott honor and Geisel honor picture book I would use for RA, S, or AS. This book tells a story of 5 toys sitting on a window sill waiting for different things that bring them happiness. Henkes beautifully illustrates what it‘s like every day to be a toy on a window sill looking out and getting new visitors. It‘s a cute quick story to share with your class! #UCFLAE3414SP18

Waiting by Kevin Henkes is a modern fantasy (F) which won two (2) award Caldecott honor and Theodore Seuss Geisel honor. This book was cute and short, it filled me with wonder about the characters waiting for something.... This book demonstrate the patience these characters had and most likely teachers need to be teachers on the daily bases. Teaching strategy (S) and Shared Reading (SR) would go well with this storybook.

@LA_Mead I‘m still waiting for one of your items to arrive. Today was the latest it claimed it would get here. Still not here yet. I will do my best to get it to you by the 1st, even if I have to drive it there myself!! #muglove

4⭐️ Kevin henkes is one of those authors who can do no wrong. This story is simple, but sweet. Various toys in the window are waiting. Some are waiting for the rain, some for the moon, and some for nothing in particular. And one day they get a new friend who is waiting for something different. A wonderfully darling story.

Not sure what I was thinking scheduling a dentist appointment for a vacation day..... at least I have my book for the waiting

When you‘ve tracked USPS all day and you know your Secret Santa package has arrived and you‘re just like 👀👀👀👀 on Litsy.

Waiting by Kevin Henkes is a F Caldecott and Geisel Honor PB and would make a great RA. Waiting and being patient is something we all strive to teach our students quickly. This adorably illustrated book is 5 friends who do almost nothing except for wait. The owl, pig, bear, puppy, and rabbit are always waiting..one for the rain, one for the moon, and one for no reason at all. #UCFLAE3414F17

Waiting by Kevin Henkes is a Caldecott and Geisel honor book, and with it‘s beautiful illustrations this F PB would be perfect for SR with lower elementary students. It‘s about five animal friends sitting patiently on the windowsill, waiting and watching the world outside. This book could help teach young children about waiting patiently for the things you want. https://www.teachingbooks.net/media/pdf/HarperCollins/Waiting_2015.pdf

Waiting is a F PB written and illustrated by Kevin Henkes who we discussed a lot in class. This is one of his newer stories. This story won both a Caldecott award as well as a Geisel which says a lot. I would use this book in an AS since Henkes has so many great books. The book is about these toys who sit on a windowsill and they‘re all waiting for something amazing.

Me waiting to open this #halloweengoespostal package... Well for The Kid to open it because let's be real, she'll open it first thing in the morning, right after having her cereal. 😂

Feeling less than optimistic, but keeping my fingers crossed that my #halloweengoespostal package arrives today! 🤞🏼

Edit: It has arrived! Definitely a lesson in being more patient 😂

For my #Halloweengoespostal parcel.
🤞🤞 it comes today. 😬

We've spent the day helping our son and DIL prepare for the hurricane. It looks as if our home may be spared the worst, but it still won't be pretty. Thanks to all of you who have sent positive thoughts and comments on my earlier post. They mean so much, because this community is family. I will keep you posted as I can. In the meantime, I am destressing by watching some football and cuddling my granddaughter.
