E.B. WHITE has written some of the
most beloved children's books. From his fiesty pigs to his
adventuresome mice, these are books that make for good reads, and good
read-alouds.
WILBUR'S ADVENTURE: A CHARLOTTE'S WEB PICTURE BOOKMaggie Kneen (Illustrator)
This
book is somewhat obscure and so I've linked to the Used book section
where copies are affordable. I'd also note that this might be a good
book for more reluctant readers as even though it's at the 4th grade
level, it's only 32 pages long.
Warm
and cuddly artwork. I haven't read this book so I'm not sure if it's a
good read-aloud or not. There are sample pages though so you can
determine that for yourself. Sample pages here.

Hard
to believe that this book has been in press for 60 years! But it's
true. If you don't remember the plot, Charlotte the spider with the
help of Templeton the rat try to save the life of Wilbur, their pig
friend. Heart felt and magical.

goes to school to learn to read and write, but that doesn't work. Then
his father steals him a real brass trumpet. Maybe that will work!
