January 28 - The best ever read-aloud book

The End of the Beginning: Being the Adventures of a Small Snail (and an Even Smaller Ant)

This book is so wonderful; full of adventure, compassion, inquiry, questioning skills, philosophy, humor, paradoxes, etc. etc.  If you have a group of children in front of you, I heartily recommend reading them this book.  I have used in grades 1, 3, 5, and 6.  I have also read it to my 14 year old cousin, and everybody loves it!  I won't say anything more, enjoy it for yourself on your own level, and make it apply to your life.  Enjoy!
