March Display



To combine a Spring and St. Patrick's Day theme for the month of March, I created a "Rainbow of Reads", with each strip of the rainbow showcasing children's books with different colored covers.  The rainbow is surrounded by a gust of wind carrying shamrocks, clouds, and umbrellas, and underneath the rainbow is a leprechaun, of course!

Using colors as a theme for a display is always a wonderful opportunity because while staying in line with the theme, books on display can span across multiple genres!  See some examples below.

RED titles:
  • Corduroy by Don Freeman
  • April's Kittens by Clare Turlay Newbury
  • Flotsam by David Wiesner
YELLOW titles:
  • Piggies by Don and Audrey Wood
  • Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbit
  • Gilberto and the Wind by Marie Hall Ets
GREEN Titles:
  • Make Way for Ducklings by Robert McCloskey
  • A Story A Story by Gail E. Haley
  • Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown
BLUE Titles:
  • The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster
  • It Looked Like Spilt Milk by Charles Shaw
  • Mr. Popper's Penguins by Richard Atwater
