I enjoy finding books that can transport my students to a new world and that allows them to fall in love with new characters. Over the years, I have read many books to my classes and the ones I am going to share with you are ones that are always a big hit with my students.
Just a note before I get into my list of read alouds. The links below are Amazon affiliate links. This does not change the price for you, it just gives me a few cents in commission. Please do not feel pressured to click on my affiliate links. I am totally fine if you write down the titles and look for the books where ever you shop. Links to Amazon Canada will be at the bottom of the post.
This is a very engaging story that is all about not judging something by what it looks like. It has a great message of kindness and your students will be begging you to read the sequel the moment you end the first book.
A young boy, Ted and Moses (the barber) are the main characters who have to escape many close calls. This is an adventure packed story that even your most reluctant student will be drawn into before you are done reading the first chapter.
This is my personal favorite. William Steig won a Newbery Honor Award with this book so that is proof that it is a wonderful book ? A storm has stranded Abel ( a mouse) on his own island and this causes strife for him because he is forced to cope without his familiar, secure life he is use to.
Steig wrote a book that is great for reinforcing the benefits of having a growth mindset. Abel provides your students with many, MANY examples of someone persevering by having a growth mindset. Abel has to find a way to cross a river, forge for food, build a shelter, and learn how to live in a new world.
The main character, Harry Potter, is summoned to attend a famous school of wizardry, Hogwarts. Harry meets Ron and Hermione who help him realize that he is not only a wizard but that he is a famous one.

The Tardy Boys (3 brothers) find out that their parents have been kidnapped by space aliens. On the same day they discover that there is a new cat living in their house. Trying to feed the kitty is very expensive because it is undernourished and eats A LOT. The boys decide to enter the kitty into a contest to win cat food for a year.
Soon enough, the boys and their friends discover that cats have been sent from space to earth to control the humans and take over earth. Many humorous events take place while the boys are trying to defeat the space cats and get their parents back.
This book is a fictionalized retelling of the Grand Island, Nebraska tornados of June 1980. It will have your students on the edge of their seat and is a fantastic book to work into a unit on extreme weather.
Lily Quench is a great series of books. I read it to my grade 1/2/3 kiddos each year at Christmas as a treat and we aim to discuss the importance of staying calm, teamwork and thinking skills as a class. I plan a entire set of literature lessons that are based on the series of events of the novels. We talk of the importance of family members and we also explore what being level headed means. We produce a short book review (third grade) for people to read. My first and second grade kiddos love me simply reading the books out loud to them.
I explain the words and characters clearly. I make up short quizzes that are based on the characters, events, themes and key words. And we design some colourful catchy posters in order to try to sell the book. You can even dress up as a character or draw some pictures to represent the characters. I have also gotten my third graders to make up character fact files and then they get to decide what they would say and do in that situation. We love reading Lily Quench around here.

Three hungry soldiers on their way home from war convince a crowd of stingy villagers that soup can be made from stones. The villagers fetch a giant pot, and the soldiers throw in three stones.

At night the little house notices the far-away lights of the city and wonders what it would be like to live there. Slowly, the lights grow closer. A road is built, then shiny new cars zip past the house. More homes begin to appear, then bigger buildings, stores, and sidewalks surround the the little house. The little house realizes she is living in the city! Now, she can't even see the sun or moon because of the bright city lights and she misses the daisies and apple trees. One day a woman recognizes the house as the one belonging to her great-great grandfather. The woman decides to move the little house out of the city and back to the country. The little house is lived in and cared for and so happy to be back where she belongs!
