I may have missed it but I haven't seen a post about reading aloud wit h older readers. I've found middle school readers very receptive to some pi cture books. A lot of good discussions have come out them about artistic te chniques and literary devices.

Here's a few titles that work particularly well:

Gaiman, Neil. The Wolves in the Walls . Illus. Dave McKean. Ha rper, 2005.

Macaulay, David. Baaa . Houghton Mifflin, 1985.

Macaulay, David. Black and White . Houghton Mifflin, 1992.

Maruki, Toshi. Hiroshima No Pika . Lothrop, 1980.

McKee, David. Tusk Tusk . Kane/Miller, 1990.

Raschka, Chris. Arlene Sardine . Henry Holt, 1998.

Wild, Margaret. Fox . Illus. Ron Brooks. Kane/Miller, 2001.

Wild, Margaret. The Woolvs in the Sittee . Illus. Anne Spudvil as. Front Street, 2007.

Math Curse and any of Sciezska's fractured fairy tales a lways work well.
