Sun So Hot I Froze to Death

The sometimes outrageous folk tales of the early days of America are the focus of this riveting reader for advanced fourth grade. You’ll find Brer Rabbit, Davy Crocket, John Henry, Johnny Appleseed, Sweet Betsy from Pike, Pecos Bill and more in this book that takes the young reader through written English and on beyond into the worlds of dialect and (appropriate) slang. What a great way to harness fourth grade energy! This reader is such fun it was hard to put it down so I could write about it.
