I am the Mystery Reader on Friday for my son's 2nd grade class. Can anyone recommend a good book ot 2 to read to the class? I guess something seasonal or funny that would engage the class?
Any suggestions welcome!
Thanks!!

Poems from "Where the Sidewalk Ends" by Shel Silverstein. So funny-- and the whole class will be cracking up! I still remember my 2nd grade teacher reading them to me!

There was a thread about this a little bit ago I am trying to find it for you.

I always loved "Giraffes Can't Dance" by Giles Andreae for read alouds. The text is rhyming and it's easy to use a lot of expression while reading it. The illustrations are great too. And I think it also has a nice message.

I love Riki Tiki Tembo!! I also like The Napping House. Another good one - for Thanksgiving if you'll be reading again - is Thank You Sarah.

Anything by Robert Munsch is great. (Except for I'll Love Your Forever.) His books are hilarious and the kids love them.
