No, you don’t really NEED a beautifully illustrated version for your read-aloud of The Secret Garden, but there are some really beautiful versions out there. We did some comparisons to help you choose the version that best fits your family's style. Don’t you want to just take a peek?
Reading The Vanderbeekers of 141st Street with our Read-Aloud Poster? We’ve collected some links here that you might find useful.
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.
