what to read to a class of 7/8 year olds on world book day?

[skeletonbones]

I am going in to read to my daughters class on world book day but cant decide what to read to them, DD said the ulitmate crime would be 'too babyish'
I did think 'horrid henry' but she said 'everyone has read those'
any ideas?

. bump this for you as I can't think of any but bet someone can...
I think it will have to be a short book tho, rather than with chapters.

I'd go for poetry. probably the Alhbergs or Michael Rosen. Or maybe some Spike Milligan. I love this www.amazon.co.uk/Stomp-Chomp-Big-Roars-Dinosaurs/dp/0140569359/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=120457 4179&sr=8-1 but it is probably a bit too young.

Poetry is a great idea. read a funny one.

Captain Underpants.

As a teacher of that age group...I would say to read one of your daughter's favourite books. Share with the class why she likes it..it'll make her feel special.

moomins?

thanks for all suggestions, am now thinking of taking a small selection of books to combart the 'we've had that last week' factor, 'the enormous crocodile'
and maybe a jaquline wilson younger readers one.

Is 7/8 too old for Hilaire Belloc?

Great poems.

The Iron Man!

Fabulous
