[LM_NET] TARGET: MIDDLE: short Renaissance read-aloud

[Maureen Southorn <mksouthorn@HOTMAIL.COM>]

Grade 6 teachers have asked me to read aloud something about the renaissance during 
our usual book exchange next week.  LM_NET Archives offered a list of juvenile 
fiction from 2000 but they're all full-length titles.  The read aloud needs to be 
appropriate for grade 6 and run around 15-30 minutes.  The students come in every 
third week, so I can't split it -- they'll be done with the renaissance before I 
see the first group again.  I'm hoping for a picture book or a chapter or two that 
will stand alone well.  One colleague suggested Leonardo's Horse, but I'm not sure 
if it'll work for this age although I haven't had a chance to read it all.  
Opinions? Suggestions?  I will post a hit.
