Night Shift Daddy

Night Shift Daddy by Eileen Spinelli and Melissa Iwai is about a relationship with a little girl and her daddy. The dad reads to his daughter, eats with her, and tucks her into bed before he goes to work. When she wakes up her daddy is home. They eat breakfast together, she reads to him, and then she tucks him into bed before she goes out to play.
    I love this book! I love how personable and relatable it is. Students of all ages can relate to this book. Every line in the book rhymes with the line below it which is a great way to introduce poetry to young children. Young children will be able to understand this book because the content and wording is written to interest young emergent readers. Male or female children will be able to relate to this book because it is a gender neutral book. The pictures go perfectly with the words and really bring the book to life for young children.
    This would be a great book to have in a classroom library. Children will be able to read this book and share what kind of job their parents have. I would also use this in a unit about poetry or when talking about children's parent's jobs. Reading this book would be a great way to get children's imaginations going to be able to write their own poems.
