What educators are saying

We read this at the beginning of the year as a whole class read aloud. Great supplemental activities to use along with the book.
I really love that this novel study is very concise but it packs a punch. I was looking for something to increase my child's vocabulary as well as work on different comprehension skills. This novel study is great to cover your bases.
