    Hi all

    I have a family member who has volunteered to go into a school to read aloud to a class of 5-6 year olds (UK Year 1) as a one off to celebrate father's day here in the UK

    He is a very gifted story teller but is hoping for some help with inspiration for an engaging and exciting chapter (opposed to a picture book) to read aloud.

    The chapter in the Hobbit where Bilbo steals from Smaug is an early front runner but I was wondering if anyone else had any ideas for an enjoyable chapter to read aloud to this age group.

    I've tried searching and have found a lot of discussion regarding favourite chapters in adult fiction but not much for children's books (mainly lists of recommended chapter books, not individual chapters)

    Thanks in advance
