A staff member is going to read to the fourth grade at the elementary
school. The classroom theme right now is "Just Curious" and the teacher
would like stories that spark curiousity in/about something, or have
characters who become curious about something. Can anyone recommend
titles for this age group that would support this theme? Thanks.

How about Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh, or From
the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E Frankweiler by E.L.
Konigsburg?

In "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe," the first volume of the Narnia
series, Lucy while playing hide-and-seek becomes curious as to why she sees
a light at the back of the wardrobe, and this, of course, leads to the
discovery of Narnia.

A few suggestions for books and stories highlighting curiosity include:
The Elephant's Child, by Rudyard Kipling (being curious pays off in the
end)
Rikki Tikki Tavi, by Rudyard Kipling (the little mongoose's motto is
"run and find out")
The Phantom Tollbooth, by Norton Juster
Who Was that Masked Man, Anyway? by Avi (written in the style of a radio
script, a young boy's imagination gets away from him)
Wayside School Is Falling Down, by Louis Sachar (the first chapter
includes the teacher's and students' unusual method of exploring the
laws of gravity)
