Edna W. Chandler's Cowboy Sam series is a wonderful tool for teaching children to read, in addition to a great adventure story. The storylines keep children completely intent and longing for more. At the same time the way the author repeats many word and concepts throughout the chapters makes children feel more confident, because the reader can help the teacher read simple words and can take part in sotrytime. I also commend Edna Chandler on the subdued lessons in fairness, honesty, and common sense, she has cleverly laid it to fun adventures that capture the imagination of even adults. If your child like horses,cowboys, or any thing doing with the old west I recommend these books. They are a treasure from yesterday to share with the children of today. This is book 4 in the series.
I found this beautifully lithographed book at a library sale, and adored the story as much as the illustrations. So much so that I sent photos of pages to friends, and eventually gifted the book to a friend who I knew would like it just as much.
