Thelonius Monster's Sky-High Fly Pie by Judy Sierra illustrated by Edward Koren

Thelonius Monster decides to make a huge fly pie to share.  After consulting a spider for advice, he concocts a sugary mixture to entice them.   He then forms a huge pie and invites all of his monster family and friends to partake in the delicious creation.  One problem . . . he forgot to bake it.  A  fun ending!
Great word choice that will help expand vocabulary.
The entire poem is in rhyme. 
Great to use when studying long i with young readers (ie, y).
-Borrowed from the library.

The Magic of Language Prefixes and Suffixes by Ann Heinrichs

Not your normal grammar book!  Beautiful photos accompany each  concept and the layout is bold and eye-catching.  Each chapter explains a concept, offers examples and then gives the reader a chance to apply his/her knowledge.
Ten Chapters topics- 1. roots   2.  prefix   3.  over/under/before/after   4.  number prefixes   5.  hyphens   6.  suffix    7.  more suffixes    8.  adding suffixes to verbs and adverbs/adjectives    9.  reading large words with prefixes and suffixes   10.  how to build a word sandwich

On page 31 there are fill in the blank sentences where the reader must add prefixes and suffixes to make the sentence "make sense".
