Third Grade Boys I have a boy in my class who would never finish a book. He just wasn't interested in any of the typical novels that third graders read. One day he picked up Tom Sawyer and he read it every day until he had finished the book. Now he's reading it a second time. Something about this story really appealed to him in a way that no other book could. The text level is typical for third grade. The print size is large. There are lots of black and white pictures. It tells the story of Tom Sawyer in a way that a third grader will understand.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer - Great Illustrated Classic My 9-year old son picked up the book and could not put it down! This is not typical for my very active son... it usually takes three weeks to finish a book - not the three days it took for this edition of Tom Sawyer. It was exciting to see him read a classic and enjoy it so much. Now he is asking for Huckleberry Finn...
an adaptation Just to alert the prospective buyer- this volume is an adaptation by Deidre S. Laiken - not the unabridged version
its ok the book was ok because it is so hard and it has some long parts in it! so i would not let kids under 8 read this unless they are real good! and other then that it was GREAT!!! then i would give it 50 thumbs up!!
