This year I have read with my class Nanberry by Jackie French I had to censor it for my stage 2 class as I didn't feel I needed to get into life for females in the early Australian colonies. They fell in love with the character Nanberry and wanted to find out about how life was for him before British Invasion and the early colonisation. 

I have shared with them one of my childhood favourites The twenty seventh annual African hippopotamus race I remember having had this read aloud to me and then rediscovering it again on my own again in my middle primary years. My class has loved this book as much as myself.

A title I have read but haven't had a chance to share yet, is the classic originally told in German Emil and the detectives. An engaging and quick read, a little boy travelling on the train to his family in Berlin has some money stolen from him... This book tells of his adventures to get his money back and to catch the thief.
