I love this post! One of my favorite experiences was being the Mystery Reader to my kid's first grade a few years back and I delighted in the book The Circus Ship by Chris Van Dusen. I love the poetic flow and there's a page towards the end where we're supposed to find the 15 hidden animals and it was a huge hit. Other favorite readalouds include Monsters Don't Eat Broccoli, Zog and The Flying Doctors, and Room on the Broom - wow, I have a type.
I find reading stories to a classroom such an intimidating experience, it makes me appreciate teachers and librarians so much more!
I am not a big talker so whew, reading aloud takes A LOT out of you. I love giving the voices a bit more emotion.
