This is a new meme hosted by Sugar & Snark. It came about when Sugar was wondering which cover to use for her #70 Cover of the Week post. Sugar kept on thinking of more than one, and they all seemed to have a theme/characteristic. So she decided to switch things up a bit!
Each week we will post a characteristic and choose 5 of our favorite covers with that characteristic. If you want to join in and share your 5 favorite covers with the week’s particular characteristic, then just make a post, grab the meme picture (or make your own) and leave your URL in Linky (so we can visit). You don’t even need to participate, just stopping by and saying hi would be great! Don’t forget to stop by the other participants!
Today’s Cover Characteristic: Classrooms
This one was hard! It wasn’t just about finding books that have a classroom setting in them, but finding books with classrooms on the cover. I knew right off what book I was going to start with because it is one I recommend to my students all the time.

- Keena Ford and the Second Grade Mix Up
- Junie B., First Grader (At Last!)
- Junie B., First Grader: Cheater Pants
And the book I always recommend to my students who struggle to find a book in the library every library visit is….

Such great books! My oldest was a huge Junie B Jones fan. We used to get them in audio book and I always enjoyed them too! Love Frindle too. I’ll have to get that next time we’re at the library. I think the Tornado would like it.
I loved Junie B. Jones books. When my youngest brother was five-seven, my mom would get them just for me to read to the two of them. Apparently I was animated enough that it was hilarious. Junie B. is something else!
This one WAS hard- so hard i skipped it lol. I’ve heard the Junie B Jones books are pretty funny. 🙂
Wow you found so many! These all look like great children reads. 🙂
I was thinking mostly kids books would be the best. And Junie B. are perfect! Great picks!
