Can anyone suggest titles of picture books that could be used with older kids?

3.1 QQTP Reading Response: Children’s Literature, Briefly – Chapter 11

One disadvantage is that older students might feel like we are condescending to them by reading a picture book. They could become bored. Then again, don’t a lot of them have serious reading problems? Maybe this would help the weaker readers without calling attention to them.
It’s interesting to consider when and how the books would be incorporated. As a fun activity during or after lunch or other breaks? As the introduction to a new unit? As a reward? First thing Monday morning? Friday afternoons?
Perhaps the students could choose and/or read the picture books instead of the teacher. Ideally, the students could then read the books to an elementary school class or after-school program.
Can anyone suggest titles of picture books that could be used with older kids? Obviously, an alphabet book would not be appropriate, but maybe historical and nonfiction books would be.
