We’re so pleased to introduce our newest Read-Aloud Poster for The Wild Robot, written by Peter Brown, available August 9. Published in 2016, this middle-grade favorite has broad appeal and is our vote for “most likely to draw in reluctant readers.” This is the story of how Roz, a robot stranded on an island, learns how to survive and make friends. We think it’s perfect for ages 5 and up.
Although one can certainly read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe without delving into the large body of scholarly biographical and analytical works surrounding it, I thought you might be interested in hearing about some of the books I read while preparing our Read-Aloud Poster.

Do you have a kid who LOVES to dress up? Some kids have fun dreaming up a Halloween costume each October, others seem to live their lives in one costume or another, but ALL kids love to peruse pictures of themselves in costume. Why not harness that enthusiasm to get them writing?
