I'm so so so glad to see Rebecca Caudill on this list from Robin.В Did you carry... is a great one, and another is A Pocketful of cricket.В Every year when I was a school librarian I would read it aloud to the first graders.В It's long, so I had to break it into two parts.В It's a quiet book which focuses on nature and the fear of the unknown that the l ittle boy, Jay, feels as he is about to go off to school for the first time .В I thought that first graders, who were Jay's age, were probably clo se enough to that experience to relate to his fears.В At first Jay's f ears seem to be justified as his teacher tells him to let go outside the cr icket in his pocket, but she softens as she realizes that it's the boy's fr iend.В People who work with children can learn from the portrayal of t he teacher too.В Jay doesn't talk back, but he doesn't do what she tel ls him to do!В
If you have never read this book aloud, you must try it.В Realize that you might want to break it into two sessions, and there is an excellent pl ace for that right in the middle.В You must read quietly and fairly sl owly and let the listener(s) imagine the sounds and sights of his fields, t he brook, etc.В Even the bawling of the cows is peacefully evoked.В
The illustrations won a Caldecott Honor and for good reason, but to me the writing is some of the best I've ever read in a picture book.В Childre n responded to it every time I read it, without exception.В Sadly, som e teachers I told about it didn't like it because it wasn't new and shiny, but if you are willing to look past its older cover, you'll discover a trea sure.В

I love what Megan wrote about the emotions than overcome us while reading aloud.
В
More thanonce I have had to stop because I was overcome with hilarity…or tears when I read aloud.
I read to my class twice—picture books and poems in the morning, chapter books at the end of the day. We record each book as we finish it and that list becomes one of the historicrecords of the year. I type it up and send it home at the end of the year—and we all love reading over the titles and remembering how much we loved the individual books. I have 17 years of read-aloud lists in this old computer and I often read over them so I don’t forget to read anything.
