Target: Light, humorous read-aloud needed

["Joyce L. McMurray" <jmcmurray@EMAIL.MSN.COM>]

Dear LM-Netters:

I have a 5th grade teacher at my school who just finished reading a very
heavy-hearted book to her class and feels that so many of the new "good"
books are sad or depressing with extremely serious content.  She came down
yesterday to ask for a suggestion for a read aloud for her class that would
be light, and hopefully, even funny or humorous.  I was challenged, but
couldn't come up with much of a list for her.  I gave her "Rich Mitch" to
get her started, but I would love to present her with a list of books to
select from in the future.  I'm sure many of you "experts" out there in
cyberland could help us out!!  Thanks so much :)
