Show & Tell: Read Alouds!

Hello. My name is Christy, and I have an addiction to children's literature.

One of my professors told me that in order to have a good classroom library a teacher needed to have at least 1,000 books in it. So that there is a wide variety of topics, genres, and ability levels.

My husband called this professor an enabler.


So when I saw this linky I knew I had to join in!

 

This year was the first that I have read this book and it is such a cute Christmas read! The Herdman's (that family, the one that everyone knows about) turns the Christmas pagent upside down.  A quick read, full of laughs, fun, and the spirit of Christmas. 

 I first read this book in college and enjoyed it greatly. The reading level is above where my students are at, but as a read aloud, with a few discussions along the way, they are really enjoying it. Milo, a bored 10 year old goes on the adventure of his life. Through places such as the Dulldrums, where the Lethargens reside {plays on words and fun with language, makes this fun to discuss}. A book worth checking out if you've never read it.

Bradley Chalkers is the oldest kid in 5th grade. He tells lies, picks on girls, nobody likes him. That is until the new school counselor arrives, but can the most hated boy in school ever believe in himself? 

All three are great reads, although I could go on, and on, about children's literature. What are your favorite read alouds? Be sure to link up with Sunny Days and share your favorites!
