I sent this to Jenny earlier, but here's a reply all! :)

I have done this 4 times and planning our 5th now.
We are a PreK-2 school so choosing a book is a little tricky for us. 

Year 1 - The World According to Humphrey
Year 2 - Ranger in Time - Oregon Trail
Year 3 - The Year of Billy Miller
Year 4 - The Trouble With Chickens
This year, we are trying Wildlife Rescue - How to Save an Owl

In Years 1 & 2, we were focused on a series. The Humphrey series is great because the original ones are more for gr 3-5, but she also has a set of Humphrey Tiny Tales, which are shorter and more geared towards Gr K-2.

Then in Year 3 we decided to move towards a more author study approach to include our preschoolers a little more. Year 3 was focused on Kevin Henkes, last year was Doreen Cronin (and she did a virtual author visit!), and this year is Kate Messner. 

I have tons of ideas and resources for each one if you are interested in more.

Hi all - I'd love to know if you've done any one book one school events and if so which titles have been successful. 

Thanks in advance! Hope your back to school is amazing!
