In simple language, a young man writes letters home to his mother and siblings, relaying the challenges and excitement of traveling west to look for gold. A fact-filled book that is great for supporting Social Studies.
Five tiny dachshund puppies are born one bright May morning, each one short, wiggly, and full of personality. But as they grow, one pup becomes longer…and longer…and longer than all the rest! His name is Pretzel, and soon he’s winning blue ribbons at dog shows and impressing everyone he meets—everyone except Greta, the little dachshund who lives across the street. Greta doesn’t care how long Pretzel is. She just isn’t interested.
