Like Waldo, I've been flitting around from landscape to landscape... though I do not have a camera, a key, a dog, or wizards along with me. It's been fun and adventurous (well, sorta)... but unfortunately, one place I haven't been found much is right here. Ahhh, to be cloned!
One thing I've been doing on my journeys is starting to mull a year-end read-aloud. It's been a fabulous year, and I'd love to end it with a bang. If you know of any brilliant picture book to read to a slew of 2nd-3rd graders to finish off the library year, I hope you'll let me know.
Off to the next picture....
The Seashore Book by Charlotte Zolotow, with illustrations by Wendell Minor
ReplyDeleteThundercake by Patricia Polacco
The Snail and the Whale by Julia Donaldson
and for some great discussions a wordless title, Flotsam by David Wiesner
Have a wonderful summer!
Love your Waldo analogy!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorites is “A Little Bit Scary People” by Emily Jenkins

I don't think you can go wrong with this age group with Dav Pilkey--his Dogzilla and Cat Kong are great read-alouds! I also thought of Stanley's Party and My Lucky Day by Keiko Kasza. Plus what about Jon Scieska--Stinky Cheese Man or True Story of 3 little Pigs, or even Math Curse or Science Curse?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestions!
