For this particular read aloud, I read the book __There Was An Old Lady Who Wasn't Afraid of Anything__ by Linda Williams. Illustrated by Megan Lloyd. The kids really seemed to enjoy it. They were very involved with the story during times when the characters were making noises because they would make the noises out loud together. This book had a pumpkin as one of the characters, so I read it in October (right around Halloween). At the end of the book, the characters join together to become a scarecrow.

One thing I noticed during my lesson was that some of the kids would shout out their own stories and ideas. While I didn't want to stop their brains from thinking, I was able to manage the lesson so that I would respond appropriately when necessary and ignore some of the comments if they weren't pertinent to the story or the lesson.
