My 4th graders completely love anything by Jean Craighead-George - especially The Gator of Gumbo Limbo.
Also, we adore The City of Ember & The People of Sparks (sequel). Gossamer is another good one. Any of these books would fit your 'journey' theme. :) And, I can enthusiastically add another vote for Edward Tulane. It was our first read-aloud of the year. It was really a fantastic reading-community builder! On Mon, Jun 15, 2009 at 4:21 PM, Brenda White-Keller < brenda...@sbcglobal.net> wrote: > Hi, What read alouds do you all suggest for 4th grade.
