One of the most magical moments as a teacher is when a student approaches you—book in hand, eyes alight—asking, “ Do you have more like this one?” The student, holding the treasured book in both hands, offers it to you. You glance at the familiar cover, well aware of how many of your students love this title. In this moment, you wish that you had a “Because you loved…” basket for the book your student is holding. This is why we created the Because You Loved… shelves. This collection began with a title that has launched millions of reading lives: Dog Man by Dav Pilkey. Each title in the shelf is designed to align to the inspiration title, both in terms of storyline and reading level, and each will delight your students who have enjoyed this beloved series.
This shelf includes 12 titles and 12 books.
