Clara and the Bookwagon - Nancy Smiler Levinson

Descriere Clara and the Bookwagon - Nancy Smiler Levinson

Clara's dream of enriching her rough life on the family farm is fulfilled when a horse-drawn book wagon visits with the country's first traveling library. \n \nPapa will not allow Clara to learn to read--he says Farm people like us do not have time to read. But when the traveling bookwagon, with persuasive Miss Mary at the reins, arrives at their farm, Papa realizes he must change his mind. Based on the true story of America's first 'bookmobile.'\n \nThe free library in a nearby Maryland village is off-limits to the curious child, but Clara's chance encounter with librarian Mary Titcomb and the first horse-drawn 'moving library' changes her father's response. A glimpse of childhood without schools, libraries, literacy and books is presented in easy-to-read historical fiction. (Cooperative Children's Book Center) \n\n \nClara and the Bookwagon is a Level Three I Can Read book. Level 3 includes many fun subjects kids love to read about on their own. Themes include friendship, adventure, historical fiction, and science. Level 3 books are written for early independent readers. They include some challenging words and more complex themes and stories.\n
