Seven carefully curated titles, outstanding among early Readers. Enjoy three interesting historical events (a volcano in a farmer’s field, a hot air balloon race, and free African-Americans moving west after the Civil War), plus one more set in the feudal era, a favorite historical time period. Read excellent poems by masters of their craft. Enjoy the fanciful story of a cat who finds his way. Read of a disappointed craftsman who realizes not all talents look the same. A fine collection for your emerging reader.
