C.S. Lewis. Chronicles of Narnia. Harper Collins.  (Illustrated by: Pauline Baynes), 2005 , Pages: 206, Reading Level: 6th- 8th grade, Lexile: 940L, Ages: 11 and up, Genre: Fantasy, Classics, Fables, and Folktales

During World War II, four siblings; Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy are sent away from the city to the house of a kind, but conservative Professor "who lived in the heart of the country." There is a lot to discover in the country he lives in there are woods, mountains, owls, eagles, and snakes. But the children will soon discover that the Professor's large house, holds even more mystery. It is a house filled with unexpected places, including a room which holds nothing but a large wardrobe, which Lucy opens one rainy day, never dreaming that the wardrobe is a passageway into Narnia. But do all four siblings go into the wardrobe? I really enjoyed this book when I was younger. I would use this book to teach them the different parts of a story, the setting, plot, rising action, falling action, and resolution.
