As I made my way through the top 100 children’s books, I enjoyed discovering that many of these novels make great read-alouds. As most should agree, it is critical to the imagination and growth of young children to have books read aloud to them. Picture books do just fine for toddlers, but I have also found value in reading chapter books to children. Below is a list of the books I chose from our list that I think would make great read-alouds. If you click on the title of the book, it will lead you to my original post on the novel.
Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane
Sideways Stories from Wayside School
Where the Mountain Meets the Moon
Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing
Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
