I'm going to be mystery reader in my ds1's 1st grade class on Friday. I'm trying to come up with a good book or two to read. Nothing too long or too simple. I've done this once before and they really enjoyed the gross/funny stuff in "My Little Sister Hugged an Ape" and also liked "A Mink, a Fink, a Skating Rink: What is a Noun?"

I'm at work now in a museum attached to a library, so now's my chance to run to the library and pick something up without any kids with me!

How fun! I'm guessing you want picture books?

How about:

Officer Buckle and Gloria (not gross, but very funny)
Miss Nelson Is Missing
The True Story of the Three Little Pigs
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs -- or the less well-known book by the same team, Animals Definitely Shouldn't Wear Clothing
Open Me, I'm a Dog! ( this is a wonderful book to read aloud!)
