I teach kindergarten. Not one of the grades that have been looking for read alouds on this listserv. However I am STUNNED by the lack of informational/nonfiction text being listed. At least half of what you read aloud to children should be nonfiction. And I really don't see much depth in the fictional text listed. Just wonderin. Nancy In a message dated 8/21/2011 12:09:09 A.M.

My stand-bys have been Ruby Holler and The Take of Despereaux and Cricket in Times Square and There's An Owl in the Shower.. I'm ready for something new and different that has not been made into a movie.
