"I love to learn about new reading resources and am constantly stocking my mini in-class library. My favorite books, hands down, include series like The Berenstain Bears and Amelia Bedelia. I can certainly provide you with a full list if you desire. Do you have some favorites at this center?"
There is no right or wrong answer here, just your preferences. As a preschool teacher, you likely have your favorite resources, so it should not be difficult for you to list these off-hand. It's a great idea to ask the interviewer if there are any favorite books and resources used at their childcare center. You never know what you will learn!
"I have a membership to a popular book subscription which makes my students lucky enough to have the best and newest books available to them. With that said, I do greatly appreciate the classic books by authors such as Robert Munsch and Dr. Seuss. Which books are favored by your students here?"

Anonymous Answer
Yes, I do. I have a teacher membership with Scholastic, and I am always in the bookstore. I love so many books that it is hard to choose a few. I love all books that are interactive and have a bit of humor in them, but I also enjoy reading all of the books by Todd Parr and Eric Carle. Which books are most appreciated by your students here?
