Ish by Peter H. Reynolds is a endearing read aloud that has a great message. A young boy, Ramon, realizes that when he looks at his drawings in a different way, he can enjoy them more than he did before. This book engages children in the message that things can still be beautiful even when they aren't perfect. I believe that this message will be good for my student. Learning from our first meeting, he seemed to be worried about giving the wrong answer. I believe this story is an engaging way to let him know that all of his ideas can be valuable and important.

My Many Colored Days by Dr. Seuss is a fun read aloud by a very familiar author. Although it is not Dr. Seuss's typical characters, the bright illustrations along with the rhyming will catch the attention of many readers. The way Dr. Seuss uses colors to develop feelings allows children to visually see and gain a deeper understanding of their own feelings.

Big Pumpkin by Erica Silverman is a fun and engaging read aloud that can also be read as a song. Rhyming, repetition, and action words (e.g. "he pulled and he tugged and he pulled") will help in engaging my student throughout the whole story. With fall being here and Halloween being just around the corner, the story of growing a pumpkin and picking it out off the vine would be relevant. My student would be interested in the content of the book knowing that Halloween is coming soon.

The Three Little Rigs by David Gordon is a twist off of a familiar story. I chose this story for two reasons. First, After my meeting with my student for "Roam the Known", I learned that he enjoys playing with his cars at home. I wanted to incorporate a book with cars in it to keep my student's attention. Second, I thought it could be great to compare this story with the original The Three Little Pigs and The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig. Both of these reasons would allow my reader to focus on the story and engage with the text in a deeper meaningful way.
