The Talented Clementine by Sara Pennybacker

In this book Clementine is a third grader who is nervous about her classes' talent show. It seems that everyone in her class has a talent except for her. Throughout the book Clementine tries various talents such as tap dancing and making her brother laugh uncontrollably. In the end she winds up at the talent show with no talent to perform, but there is a twist. Clementine ends up filling in for one of the teachers that was helping to direct the talent show.

I think that this would be an excellent book for students that are in the second through third grade reading level to read. It is a simple read with the moral that everyone has a talent, they just might not know what it is yet.
