The Stranger

Based on the book by Chris Van Allsburg, this is the story of the Bailey family and their unexpected visitor one unusually long summer.

I miss the good old days. Back in 5th grade, my English teacher would read us books from Chris van allsburg and til this day (freshman in college) I would occasionally look back and relive those memories 😁😄😃😀🙂😕🙁☹️

Thank you for making this video. I like to share this book with my students each year as an inference lesson. This video will compliment it well as a compare and contrast activity.

Nice music in October. Loved the video!

[giannalovestosing]

Honestly, if you ask me, they should make this book into a full-length feature film, not a short one.

Great work, though! 😊😊

I watched this last year at school.
Ok legit everyone watching this is either a school teacher or a student who types: my teacher showed me this, I taught my students this lesson, we watched the video

My 3rd grade teacher showed me this and I loved it so much that I watched it again (sorry if I spelled anything wrong)

Thank you so much for this  I just happened to search for The Stranger online just for the read aloud to accompany our reading for the week, but then I saw this and had to give it a watch. My students loved the video, they broke out in applause when the credits begin to roll. I loved it and I will share it with all of the other teachers on the hall.  We will also be adding it to our curriculum maps that are shared within the county!!!  Again thank you so much for this wonderful video.

I just happened to be searching for supplemental activities for "The Stranger" and found your video.  I shared it with all my colleagues and we all LOVE IT!  I especially like the way you've framed your shots to match the illustrations in the book.  Thank you so much for paying homage to this wonderful story.
