Please recommend comforting books for reading aloud. The 3 of us are going to London for what promises to be a difficult trip. We are almost finished with "Return to Gone-Away."

Other books that have worked well for us to read aloud have been the Sarah Caudwell books, the Armitage stories, and Cold Comfort Farm.

James Thurber’s “13 Clocks” is one of my favorite read-aloud books.

Hm. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy -- at least the first two books -- were originally a radio play, so it might be especially amenable to reading aloud.
