Up! Tall and High!

Long, E. (2012). Up! Tall and High! New York, NY: GP Putnam's Sons.

This book would be a good choice for early childhood teachers in grades PreK-1st. Students would enjoy choral reading along with the teacher once they are familiar with the text. It is also a good book for emerging readers to read on their own. Each page has a simple sentence. If primary teachers are teaching sight words like I, am, or can, this book can be used in instruction. The interactive pages are also fun. It is like reading a pop up book when you are reading a page and guessing how the page will move to go along with the words. The pages are thicker than most pages found in picture books. I assume to make them durable for the little hands that will be turning and folding them.
