    About It’s Not about the Pumpkin!

    Here are five first books for fledgling readers that offer the enjoyment of a good story along with the thrill of accomplishment that comes from independent reading. Written in short, easy phrases with carefully selected vocabulary and plentiful illustrations, each book helps youngsters achieve success as they have fun.

The stories come from around the world, and Veronika Martenova Charles provides a note at the end of each book to describe the origins.
