One of my teachers this semester recommended Patricia Polacco as a read aloud with students. She was right! The illustrations are beautiful and they take up the entire page.
It starts out with a little girl who doesn’t want to read and expresses her boredom to her Grandfather. They go off on a bee chase that ends up including the entire town. The end result was they found the beehive that had all of the honey. Moral of the story, reading is just as adventurous and sweet as chasing bees to their beehive.
I think this would be a great read aloud for an entire class, working with just one student, or even for your own home. It has a great ending that hopefully would motivate most kids to open up a book and find the suspense and adventure from cover to cover.
