Captivating

After reading Bartleby of the Mighty Mississippi to my 4 and 5 year old sons, they were begging for more. They loved Shalant's next book Bartleby of the Big Bad Bayou. Each night I would read one of the short chapters to them and they would beg for me to read another. The book was suspensful for my boys and they are wishing Shalant had Bartleby traveling to another spot in a third book. I highly reccomend these books for any young boy who loves to read or be read to.
