Book Ideas Have individual students (or an entire class, if you want them to

do a collective book) pick a imaginative, yet simply illustrated, short picture book story to depict in pop-up form (the following are just a few examples of some of my favorite books that may fit this description): “The Artist Who Painted the Blue Horse” by Eric Carle “Brontorina” by James Howe “I Want My Hat Back” by J. Klassen “Leonardo, the Terrible Monster” by Mo Willems “Math Curse” by Jon Scieszka “Mechanimals” by Chris Tougas
