Reviews

[Rosa Cline · Rating 4 out of 5]

These books are very nice for beginning readers to chapter books that may not be able to have a long attention span to read the longer versions of these books. The chapters in these books are pretty much word for word from the full version of the books.

This one is from the 2nd book in the Caroline series. This one they took a few chapters out that highlighted Caroline with her best friend seeing the 4th of July parade, then a chapter where she and her brother go berry picking and find a dog and although they know they barely have food for themselves they hope Momma will let them keep him. Another chapter where the kids want to go out and enjoy the beginning of Spring after a long winter of snow and cold. Playing tag and doing what kids do have fun!

A very good book to help teach History lessons of times gone by to beginning chapter book readers.

Don't be scared. Caroline got scared of a dog that looked just like a wolf, but then they got to keep it.
