As far as using books in my classroom, some of my favorites for
elementary are:

Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak (then make Wild Things mask
using large paper sacks and all sorts of scraps)

Any Eric Carle books (A House for a Hermit Crab...ties in with ocean
themes and lots of possiblities with the arts. I do a fingerpainted
underwater background, then have the students draw different creatures
that live underwater...real or imaginary.)

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs...(great for weather units...then I
have them make a diorama and have "Cloudy with a Chance of ???" like
diamonds, cars, shoes, cats, etc.)

I agree on Shel Silverstein books....great imagery

and that is just off the top of my head...if I think of more I will let
you know.
