Barbara's Note: This is one of the most delightful books I have read and one recommended by TLP users. Written for young readers, it has more substance than most books at this level and is packed with practical application. It is singularly appropriate for both boy and girl readers because the main characters are a class of children. (Grades 5, 6)
