Haha!  No you are dead-on! I have learned the importance, too, of selecting just the right book for the class.  Have you noticed that just because a book was perfect the year before, does not make it perfect the next year? I read picture books, but as a fifth grade teacher spend the majority of read aloud time on longer novels. My starting read aloud book for each class is the hardest to select and the most important for the year. What do other folks use for their first book?
