Great idea.  Let's get this list going.

Here are a few more....

I have read all of these and used them with various grade levels.

This group of books (and there are more) are all written by John Himmelman
(CT author) and are very good examples appropriate for k-6

Slug's Life
A Dandelion's Life
An Earthworm's Life
A House Spider's Life
A Salamander's Life

Turtle Tide by Stephen Swinburne
