TOS Review: Circle C Beginnings #4…. “Andi’s Scary School Days”

Written by: Susan K. Marlow, Illustrated by Leslie Gammelgaard

“Andi wants no part of school. School means being away from the ranch all day and sitting next to a boy who throws dead flies at her. Andi didn’t think she was afraid of anything—until now. Being sent to the corner for something she didn’t do is the last straw. Andi’s leaving. And she’s not going back.”

My thoughts:

I was so excited for the opportunity to review these books.  What an amazing blessing in our home.  The girls and I absolutely LOVE their books.  I think our family has seen so many books from the library over the past 7 years that the classics were exciting to explore.

It was nice to read books from the computer during our lunch.  I also downloaded the free Natural Reader software.  Then I opened the book the girls wanted to listen too.  I just highlighted the text and listened.

I downloaded the e-reader app on my PC.  The 13 zipped files containing 225 downloaded easily. 

Yesterday’s Classics e-books are very organized too.  They have a list of their books sorted by level, genre, author, title, grade range, and age range.  This file really helped me know what books I should choose from depending on my girls age and interests.
