Lots of voices and the end of each chapter is a cliff hanger, if you will. You'll never want to stop reading. I've read it to 4th graders and they love it. But even younger and older will enjoy it. <br /><br />Someone mentioned Stargirl! Great read aloud too!! Spinelli is so fun to read.

Others that we've really liked are The Invention of Hugo Cabret, The Name of this Book is Secret (series), Ella Enchanted, Holes, Summer of the Monkeys, Rules, Frindle (and several others by Andrew Clements) and of course the first couple Harry Potter books. We're currently reading The Hobbit and I'm surprised at how much my kids love it, even my 6 year olds.

Okay, except I totally cannot read Charlotte's Web out loud because it makes me cry. :D<br /><br />I've also had great success reading out loud The Boxcar Children series, Holes by Louis Sachar, Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher by Bruce Coville, The Hobbit, and various books by Lynne Reid Banks (like the Adventures of King Midas and The Fairy Rebel), Beverly Cleary (Ramona series - The Mouse and the Motorcycle), and Judy Blume (Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing).<br /><br />Sorry. Don't get me started! I was raised by a second grade teacher and she always had a book she was reading aloud to us. :D It's been a lot of fun to carry on the tradition as a parent myself.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199624998247618525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-83967911642920892352013-03-11T15:01:19.037-07:002013-03-11T15:01:19.037-07:00that is a great list.

This is a good list to have on hand because I know a lot of people who enjoy reading aloud in families and are always looking for recommendations.<br /><br />~L (omphaloskepsis)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-71636225467422546512013-03-11T11:03:38.866-07:002013-03-11T11:03:38.866-07:00We're reading The Indian in the Cupboard right...We're reading The Indian in the Cupboard right now.
