Alvin Ho

Looking for a great read aloud? Like funny books? Ones with pictures and a distinctive voice? Maybe you're a fan of Junie B. Jones or the Time Warp Trio? Well, here's the book for you:

Alvin Ho Allergic to Girls, School, and Other Scary Things by Lenore Look.

And yes, that really is the whole title. Alvin doesn't talk at school. Doesn't talk at all. Fortunately, he has friends who help him out, a very understanding family and a great sense of humor. This would be a perfect read aloud for 1st - 3rd grade.
