I really need some books - and if they have lesson activities all the better!

I'd love to start getting some books I can use with my kids.  I have ALL reading levels from girls who can only scribble to girls who can spell the first 100 sight words!  Picture books are what are needed at reading levels from Pre Primer to about 2nd grade.  Others I can use to read aloud.  There are bookstores here, but the books in English cost about 3 times as much as they would at home.  I bought a soft cover of The Cat In The Hat and it cost about $12.  At home it would be $4.99.  Used books are great!  Please read through it before you send to make sure there are no pigs or kids in bathing suits.  Also, no ghosts.  They may not mention any religion other than Islam nor should they mention holidays other than Muslim holidays.    They should not show boys and girls at a sleepover together.  They should not mention dating.  If in doubt ask.  This is a requirement list I got last week.  The books I get will become highlighted - thanks Mom and Dad for the yellow books!

Books I have a few activities for:
Jan Brett Books
Eric Carle Books
Dr. Seuss Books ( I have The Cat In the Hat, and Mom and Dad got me Green Eggs and Ham, ABC book and On Fish, Two Fish)
Magic Treehouse books (to read aloud) (Mom and Dad got Blizzard of the Blue Moon)
Joseph Had a Little Overcoat
Pumpkin Soup
Dear Mr. Blueberry
Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse
Lottie's New Beach Towel
Officer Buckle and Gloria
Miss Spider's Tea Party
Where Do Balloons Go
An Uplifting Mystery
Stringbeans Trip to the Shining sea
Miss Alaineus
Tell A Bunny
Cook a Doodle Doo
Clarice Bean, That's Me
Magic Schoolbus Books ( our science topics are the human body, solar system, scientific method, the moon)


Any other books that you like would be great as well.  I will add to this list and I will highlight books that I've gotten so you will know.  Multiple copies would be good for reading groups!  I've only made this list because I've had several people ask what I need.  I can live without everything else, but books are a need!  Thanks in advance for anything you send.  I hope to get my national id soon and then I can get a post office box!
