(3) 1-3 I Can Read Chapter Book series. Illustrated by Bill Farnsworth. Nine-year-old Noah, who loves life on the prairie, resists his aunt's efforts to teach him to read and write until Dora shows him how an education will help him better understand the natural world around him. Set in 1880 Colorado, the short chapter book has a large typeface, short sentences, and a reader-friendly layout. An emphasis on sepia tones in the full-color illustrations helps create an old-fashioned mood.
