Books like Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium

I will admit I had high hopes for this movie, and then left the theater disappointed. The ending was not well-edited and I thought the outcome had been different from what I expected. I felt let-down by the story instead of uplifted. So, I decided to read the book to explore the ending again, and this time I was not disappointed. So, the film's editor must not have done a very good job at portraying what really happened at the end, but the author did. Ah, how often that very scenerio is true! Anyway, this book was delightful and would make a good read-aloud with your elementary-aged children.
