Sharing Picture Books with Grades 5 and 6

This post follows on from yesterday where I shared some Picture Books you could share with Grades 3 and 4. If you begin with that post you can read the background to the creation of this list - which is by no means comprehensive. Many of these will be out of print but nearly all should be in your local school library (here in Australia). The Australian titles here will be included in the new National Centre for Children's Literature Picture Books for Older Readers database which will be released in 2023. The database will include links to teacher notes and other useful resources. Many of the books I listed yesterday could also be shared with Grades 5 and 6.
