A teacher's treasure!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is a touching story of a boy who learns to deal with the the pain of seeing a friend grow old, a fear of residents in an old folks home and his own struggle with reading. An excellent book in its own right, it is also a treasure for teacher's to read aloud to students of most ages. The writing can be used not only as an example of a well-crafted story but as examples of figurative language. It is short enough to read in class and interesting enough to hold the attention of students.
