(3) K-3 Illustrated by Dan Andreasen. In this shortened, simplified version of Mary Antin's memoir, The Promised Land, Wells describes conditions in late-nineteenth-century Russia, Mary's passage across the ocean to America, and her first year in school, which culminates in the publication of a narrative poem the new immigrant writes about George Washington. The writing is smooth, rich, and filled with memorable images; the oil paintings are warm and detailed.
