Kelsey Green, Reading Queen - - ESSENTIAL

Mills, Claudia Kelsey Green, Reading Queen, 122 pgs. Margaret Ferguson Books, 2013. $15.99. Content: G. 

When the Principal at Franklin School challenges the students to read 2,000 books in just one month, 3rd grader Kelsey Green, the strongest reader in her class (next to Simon) is determined to read the most.  But when she gets in trouble for reading during math class and is having trouble finding age appropriate, short books she turns her reading efforts to help Cody, the only one in her class who hasn’t read anything.  

Part of the Franklin School series, this one is a delight for the book lover.  All the books mentioned are classic children’s jewels, and the reading level is perfect for the intended audience.  I can’t wait to give a copy to my favorite 3rd grade reader! EL - ESSENTIAL Lisa Librarian
