[MOSAIC] Parent Night Picture Book Suggestion

[Kukonis at aol.com]

I've done a workshop like this with parents using Grandfather's Twilight (  
almost a wordless book) and the questions and inferences, and connections were  
wonderful. The parents worked with the kids and it was so easy to do... all 
kids  could access the text and the exchange between and among families was 
very  insightful... lots of positive response... we recorded all our thoughts on 
paper  tablecloths and later displayed them as :roundtable discussions... we 
used  string to draw parallels ...even the display created a buzz as we left 
pencils  and markers attached to the bulletin board which became an interactive 
site for  the school community....

We've used Chris Van Allsburg's The Stranger before--worked well.?  Actually 
had the parents record their thinking and questions on sticky  notes.

Hi all, 
Looking for  a picture book that I could read aloud to parents/students K-6 
at a 
Parent  Literacy Night - ways parents can read with/to their child.? I wanted 
to  
model strategies - think alouds, questioning, author's purpose, etc.? Any  
suggestions or anything you have used in the past??  Thanks!
