Marion Monroe (1898–1983)

This grade school reader was very special to me growing up. It was the book that most inspired me to love for my country and, in recently re-discovering that virtue, I was drawn to find the book again. Stories of the Revolutionary War, the complete text of Jean Fritz's "chapter book" The Cabin Faced West, non-fiction about nature and history, and perhaps most of all, simple stories about American kids living resourceful lives, say more to me about what it means to be American than I've show more learned from any other book.

The editor of this reader deserves to be commended. To me, it was much more than a reader. It was a primer of patriotism. show less

This book is an excellent book to teach children to read, however because it is old, it is not very racially diverse. These types of books tend not to be, however the sentence structure and word choices are great for new readers. I would recommend this book for Kidergarden and 1st grade teachers to keep in their in-class libraries!
