No Talking

"No Talking" by Andrew Clements is honestly the funniest book I've ever read. I read it to a group of 4th graders I was working with and together we were laughing until our stomach hurt! As I was reading it out loud, I could barely get the words out through the laughter. This brought on laughter from the students. Truly a wonderful book. 

Obviously, as I mentioned above, I read it to older kiddos, but if you were to read it to younger children, I can guarantee that you would have the same results that I had with this particular group of 4th graders. 

The book is about a group of 5th graders who start one epic competition, boys vs. girls style! The boys challenge the girls to a no talking contest, the gender that looses.. well you will just have to see what the consequence is for loosing. 

Caution! If you read this book to active minds (which I did) they might try this "No Talking Experiment" on you... which I found very funny cause the group I was working with couldn't even go 5 minutes without talking :) 

Seriously! If you haven't read this book, correct this mistake and read it! At Barnes and Noble its $7.99 and on Amazon you can get it used for around 5 bucks. Don't forget about your local library also! 

No go and READ!!
