Grade KG Library Guide, PXES: Cast of Characters

A guide to library materials and lesson outlines that support KG curriculum at Shanghai American School, Puxi Campus.

Favorite Series

KG children are learning to read and should be introduced to as many authors, illustrators, characters, and series as possible.  The series below represent a few of the many available  in SAS' collection.  Once introduced to the series, the children will choose the books again and again.

Clifford the Big, Red Dog by Norman Bridwell

Pete the Cat by James Dean and Kimberly Dean

Curious George by Margaret and H.A. Rey

Peppa Pig

How Rocket Learned to Read by Tad Hills

Franklin by Paulette Bourgeois and Brenda Clark

Farmyard Tales by Heather Amery and Stephen Cartwright

Elephant & Piggie by Mo Willems

Strega Nona & Big Anthony

Most of our Strega None collection is found in E DEP.  However, for some reason the original was catalogued separately in the folk tale section.  This series is a favorite of KG children who love to repeat the magic pasta pot poem.

Winnie the Witch by Valerie Thomas and Korky Paul

Harry and the Bucketful of Dinosaurs by Ian Whybrow

Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood

Dino-Sports by Lisa Wheeler
