My 2nd grader loves Skippy Jon Jones books!

I always loved 'cloudy with a chance of meatballs' in elementary school - no idea what grade but it was k-4 for sure.

Agreed or any books by the same author (Jon Scziecka), like Math Curse or the Three Little Pigs one.

Duck for President. Very funny - unless that skews too young for your demo?

[Twoboos]

Love "Giraffe and a Half" by Shel Silverstein!!

Bark George.... Especially if the teacher is Ok with two. (It's a little short, but it's great and always a big hit.)

Sent from my phone. Please excuse typing errors I've made, and auto correct 'fixes' I missed.

Any of the Pigeon books by Mo Willems. Knuffle Bunny or Leonardo the Terrible Monster also by Willems. David Shannon books are a hoot - quick reads but they are funny. They show David's naked butt in 2 of the "David" books just so you know before you choose. A Bad Case of Stripes is great too by Shannon snd How I Became a Pirate (Shannon illustrates this one.) Those two authors hide a character in each of their books that you have to find - thats always fun for a read aloud. In non-Pigeon books Willems hides the Pigeon. And Shannon hides Fergus - a white dog from his childhood. Kids love being on the lookout for the hidden character.

Depending on the group - my second graders last year loved Jumanji by Chris Van Allsburg. Its not a funny book but in my experience has always been very captivating. All Van Allsburg books also have a hidden image - they have Fritz hidden somewhere (a terrier that looks like the Target dog). Fritz is much harder to find than Fergus or Pigeon. And attention spans need to be a little longer for this book.
