When I look at the stack of books that I have set aside for the Book-A-Day challenge, I can't help but realize how very few classic children's books I've read in my life. An avid reader as a child, I found books and series' that I liked, and read every single one of them, never venturing far. For example, I've read nearly every one of Ann M. Martin's Baby-sitter's Club series, as well as The Boxcar Children.
I vividly remember reading James and the Giant Peach as a child, so of course it was easy to fall right in love with The Witches. The only thing I could think of while reading this book is how great of a read-aloud it would be. Now, since I'm probably last teacher on the planet to read The Witches, kids have probably already read or heard it. But it'll be worth a shot. I'll just have to figure out when in the year this is going to happen; Wonder and The One and Only Ivan are student read-aloud favorites. We'll make it happen :)
ps-I haven't been very consistent with a daily book, but with one third of the summer completed, I am incredibly thrilled with the reading adventures that I've had this far. Thank you for reading and supporting right along with me!
