As soon as the teachers read these in class, I get holds for months on every copy in the series or by the author. I read aloud Lulu and the brontosaurus to kindergarten every year the last week of school and my 1<sup>st</sup> and 2<sup>nd</sup> graders actively check out the series sequels.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> AISLE <aisle-bounces@list.railslibraries.info> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Sharon Lane via AISLE<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, January 23, 2020 8:43 AM<br><b>To:</b> AISLE-Share: Association of Illinois School Library Educators discussion list <aisle@list.railslibraries.info><br><b>Cc:</b> Sharon Lane <slane@mcusd1.net><br><b>Subject:</b> [aisle] Please post<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>Elementary Librarians, could you make recommendations for AWESOME 2nd grade interest chapter books to read-a-loud?
