Review: Another great offering from the "I Can Read Book" series. This book is also a Reading Rainbow Book, and it is a true story! My kids loved the fact this amazing little story about black pioneers in 1878 is true. Considering that I used to have qualms leaving them alone in the house while I went to our mailbox at the end of our pipestem, they find it fascinating that three boys (8, 11, and 3) were left alone while their father went further west to find a good piece of land to settle. Then he sends a letter with a map and tells them to come find him 150 miles away - which they do. Simply amazing. Straightforward writing, simple sentences, my 1st and 2nd graders loved it.
