This was the first read aloud we did this year. The kids enjoyed it and made some great connections. They learned a lot of great vocabulary words (melancholy, constellation, lozenge). We watched the movie after we had finished reading the book. The kids did some compare and contrast activities.

Another read aloud we did this year. The kids really seemed to get into the story and understood how the whole word experiment got a little out of control. It was a great ending!
