I asked several colleagues for their favorite picture books on pathways, and all of us were somewhat stumped on this subject area. To date, there are still few books to be used as springboards when exploring lines and pathways with elementary age students.
Today, I want to highlight the four we came up with. Clearly, there is room for more books on this theme! I recommend checking them out of your local library and purchasing used copies online. My top pick from the list is Little Green.
1. Little Green by Keith Baker (get regular copy, not board book version)
A hummingbird – making various pathways in space (zig zag, curlycue, etc)
2. Jonathan and His Mommy by Irene Smalls and Michael Hays
A son and mother taking a walk and exploring all different ways to walk – big steps, small steps, zig zag pathways
3. Lines that Wiggle by Candace Whitman and Steve Wilson
An artistic exploration of lines that wiggle, bend, spiral, curve, etc.
4. Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson
An imaginative tale of a little boy drawing his world around him – the path he takes, the moon in the air, and much more to create an adventure
