K-3I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Stacey Schuett.
Betsy is thrilled to learn that a family new to the Nebraska prairie includes a girl her age. She feels rebuffed when Emmeline is unenthusiastic about the cornhusk doll that she has made for her, but by the end of the day, during which the girls hunt for berries, play tag, and get lost, they are fast friends. With its short chapters and engaging color art, this book is a fine introduction to frontier life for beginning readers.
