New Read Aloud Begins

Yesterday we finished reading our beloved   The Cricket in Times Square. There were moans from several students who had become quite attached to the wonderful characters in that story.  We talked to them about the fact that some books have sequels, and many children were  thrilled to learn that there is a sequel to  The Cricket in Times Square, called Tucker's Countryside. We are not going to be reading it in class because we are moving onto Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We wanted to pass on the information about Tucker's Countryside for those who just can't say good bye yet.
