Books in Young Readers' Series series

Life is better down that old dirt road...It's almost Christmas but things are...well, unusual. There's a new kid in class...the weather's just not right...they have to produce a play on the last day before Christmas vacation...and even their journey in Mr. T ends up being different! Come along for the ride as Ike deals with changes at school, and as he and Papa X travel back in time to help a grieving apple grower. They even get to see the greatest baseball player who ever lived win a World Series game! Old fashioned car, old fashioned values, a great read for your young reader and you!

This brand new addition to the "Usborne Young Reading" series focuses on animals and the roles they have played in conflict, both modern and ancient. Find out how elephants helped Hannibal attack Rome, why pigeons saved hundreds of lives in World Wars 1 and 2 and how a little donkey called Murphy came to the rescue of wounded soldiers in World War One, along with many other stories of heroism and courage. Usborne's "Young Reading" series was developed in conjunction with experts from Roehampton University and is designed to encourage independent reading. Each title has clear, engaging text and is accompanied by original illustrations.
